Abstract

We reconstruct monads as cyclic finite state automata whose states are what Leibniz calls perceptions and whose transitions are automatically triggered by the next time tick he calls entelechy. This goes some way toward explaining key aspects of the Monadology, in particular, the lack of inputs and outputs (§7) and the need for universal harmony (§59).
