Hi Stephen P. King 

For what it's worth, I think Richard referred to
Indra's Beads in connection with this problem.  Every monad
has its own myriad set of perceptions of the other monads,
but these are indirect (are constantly updated by the Supreme
Monad). 

Tre Supreme Monad is needed to keep all of these perceptions
correct, each from their own viewpoint. Each monad is different.

Dear Richard,

     How would one prove that all observations that that 1p has are 
mutually consistent? Unless you assume that the speed of light is 
infinite, and thus there exists a unique simultaneity (or absolute and 
uniform variation of the rate of sequencing of events) for all observed 
events, mutual consistency is impossible. This implies that there cannot 
exist a singular 1p for "the entire universe". It is for this reason 
that I reject the 'realist' approach to ontology and epistemology and am 
trying to develop an alternative.
     Think about how it is that a Boolean Algebra, which is known to be 
the faithful logical structure representing a 'classical' universe' (not 
'the universe'!), is found to be Satisfiable.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_satisfiability_problem

"In computer science, satisfiability (often written in all capitals or 
abbreviated SAT) is the problem of determining if the variables of a 
given Boolean formula can be assigned in such a way as to make the 
formula evaluate to TRUE. Equally important is to determine whether no 
such assignments exist, which would imply that the function expressed by 
the formula is identically FALSE for all possible variable assignments. 
In this latter case, we would say that the function is unsatisfiable; 
otherwise it is satisfiable. For example, the formula a AND b is 
satisfiable because one can find the values a = TRUE and b = TRUE, which 
make (a AND b) = TRUE. To emphasize the binary nature of this problem, 
it is frequently referred to as Boolean or propositional satisfiability.

SAT was the first known example of an NP-complete problem. That briefly 
means that there is no known algorithm that efficiently solves all 
instances of SAT, and it is generally believed (but not proven, see P 
versus NP problem) that no such algorithm can exist. Further, a wide 
range of other naturally occurring decision and optimization problems 
can be transformed into instances of SAT."

     It seems to me that the content of any 1p that is real must be at 
least a solution to a SAT problem.
