Hi Bruno Still waiting for the storm to shut things down.
Numbers are not discussed specifically as far as I can find yet, in my books on Leibniz. Which probably means that they are simply numbers, with no ontological status. Sort of like space or time. Inextended and everywhere. Numbers are definitely not monads, because no corporeal body is attached. Although they can whenever thought of appear in the minds of particular men in the intellects of their monads. Leibniz does refer to a proposed "universal" language, which is simply everywhere as well as possibly in each head. Numbers would no doubt be the same, both everywhere and in individual minds at times. So numbers are universal and can be treated mathematically as always.

Hi Bruno Marchal I still haven't sorted the issue of numbers out. I suppose I ought to do some research in my Leibniz books. Aside from that, monads have to be attached to corporeal bodies, and numbers aren't like that. I find the following unsatisfactory, but since numbers are like ideas, they can be in the minds of individual homunculi in individual monads, but that doesn't sound satisfactoriy to me. Not universakl enough. My best guess for now is that the supreme monad (the One) undoubtedly somehow possesses the numbers. Hurricane coming.

In arithmetic, each universal numbers mirrors all other universal numbers. The tiny Turing universal part of arithmetical truth is already a dynamical Indra Net. Your monad really looks like the (universal) intensional numbers.
