Hi meekerdb, Leibniz's monads each contain all of the other possible view or observation points in the universe, meaning that all one person can see is the phenomenol world-- the world from one viewpoint. Only the supreme monad or the One can see all clearly as one, which of course is beyond us.
>From a lower standpoint, what our own mind does when we ourselves perceive the phenomenol world is very much like the One does in perceiving the universe, except at a much lower level. Our mind and perceptual appartus (the eye) are a) both broadband in order to see everything present and b) somehow unify and focus the perception into a single point of view.

Your soul, or 1p-you, cannot. A viewpoint implies a certain place, but I don't see that one can only be conscious of one place at a time. Consider the operator in Florida who is operating a drone over Afghanistan. His consciousness is aware of both places at once. OK, and with the TV or the net, in that sense most of us are aware of many places at once, but not in a sense relevant for the 1-indeterminacy question, I think.
