Hi Craig Weinberg Yes. Monads are the "souls" of coporeal bodies in the world, and the homunculi within them have various degrees of personhood, from man, who has intellect, down to rocks, which have no intellect or feeling. only a dark, sleeplike state.
Leibniz was an Idealistic philosopher, so when he says "substance" he means what is real to him, the monad, which is an occupant of mental space. It represents a physical substance. but is not physical itself. Because of this different way of thinking, it is easy to confuse the two, which took me a while to get over.

You're confusing the map (the monads, which you can think of as ideas or information) with the territory (physical space). It is the corporeal bodies of substances that the monads refer to, not the monads themselves, are distributed in space, but the monads are not. They are just ideas, which as always are outside of spacetime. I would say that monads are more like persons than ideas. They don't refer to substance, substance is how monads represent each other, and they do that through the invention of sensory-motor interruption: spacetime.

Roger does not understand my argument that the monads of string theory are effectively inextended despite they being uniformly distributed throughout the universe at a density of 10^90/cc because each monad maps the entire universe instantly and they collectively form a BEC. In addition they collectively possess Peano cosmic consciousness so that there is no need for a supreme monad.
