Hi Craig Weinberg 

The Supreme Monad (the One) indirectly provides the "sensitivity".
Although the monads by themselves are blind, deaf, dumb, and paralyzed,
the SM keeps giving them continual updates of the rest of the
universe. In that, it is "as if" they are sensitive.

The reason for this clumsy arrangement invoking the SM as middle man
(more like a central processing chip) is that the monads, like software,
are ideas, and ideas cannot directly interact with one another.
But although monads have no windows, they effectively know everything.

Craig, 

The monads themselves are sensitive,

How? Why?
 

being able to map or reflect or 
perceive the rest of the universe instantly. 

That means that this capacity of reflection and perception is more primitive 
than the monads themselves.
 

Whether they care or not 
is beyond the scope of science. 

That's a cop out. The truth is the only scope of science.
 

Not seeing any difference is your 
problem. Richard 


Ok, but why should I want to fix this problem? Why does it matter which shapes 
are fundamental? It's like arguing whether percussion, wind, or stringed 
instruments are responsible for music.
