"We cannot refrain from making a connection to Leibniz Monad Theory, which may be viewed as an early version of a MMQM. A Leibniz monad is like an elementary particle such as an electron. According to Leibniz, each monad has its own (blurred) perception of the other monads and is acting accordingly. Only God can collect the totality of all perceptions, and he keeps it for himself, letting each monad do its best on its own, in a form of MMQM."
