On computational subjectivity: Leibniz's Grand Perceiver as Cloud Computing--
and the One (or God) as WiFi sharing and governance thereof.
This raises new hopes in my mind for the proponents of computationalism.
This is just a speculation, but the following quote on the use of Cloud
Computing (CC) as
an accessory shared intelligence for Apple Ipods and Samsung Tablets suggests
CC as a possible
model for Leibniz's Supreme Monad as the subjective Grand Perceiver * (my
term), leading
to the above-all WiFi and God or the One as overall governing authority.

The cloud computing movement has done a great deal to promote platform
agnosticism, from
consistent (Web-based) UIs to cross-platform APIs that allow applications to
synchronize data.
And with most users being constantly connected via 3/4G, Wi-Fi or wired
networks to the Internet,
cloud services have been one of the most hassle-free ways to make your data
available across devices.
Cloud computing could then replace the many difficulties that Daniel Dennety
has criticized
as the Cartesian Theater.
