Hi Stephen P. King 

It's from

and was just the first link that came up in Google.

Just Google on 

monad

and a whole set of other links will pop up.

Hi Roger,

What is this quote from? It is interesting! I don't quite agree with it, as 
the centers are not all that a monad must include for its definition...

In string theory monads are definitely things in themselves.

Dear Roger,

You are being inconsistent to the very definition of a monad. They do not 
have an "outside" that could ever been seen from a point of view and thus to 
think of them as if they do, such as the concept of a space full of them (which 
implies mutual displacement) if to think of them as atoms that are exclusively 
"outside view" defined. Within the Monadology all concepts that imply an 
"outside view" are strictly defined in terms of appearances from the inside.

He might be right in saying that (See my response to Saibal).
But it can't confirm it as well (how could it, since we as humans can't
confirm it and what he knows about us derives from what we program into
it?). So still, it is less capable than a human.

Hi Roger,

Indeed! This corresponds to non-distributive logical lattices.But we still 
need more details. The best attempt that i have seen on deriving extension was 
Roger Penrose' spin network idea.

Dear Roger, 

A lot of people have a very hard time comprehending abstract ideas, they 
are stuck thinking of them as physical things. A small minority of people are 
stuck thinking of concepts as purely mental. It is necessary to consider both 
of these points of view and be able to understand the difference between them. 
The best analogy of the relation between them is the inside and outside views 
of a volume filled with hollow spheres.Waht happens if the spheres are actually 
Klein Bottles?

Hi Richard Ruquist 

I'm getting tired of trying to explain this to you. You have to do more 
thinking.

Monads have no extension. And they have no location nor time. So they are merely
theoretical, extensionless, outside of spacetime. You have to have extension to 
physically exist.
