FP monads are interesting, but I was taking my lead from Leibniz, not Haskell. That is, a monad here is an elementary entity (or at least, one without spatial parts, it may have some other form of internal structure) which can be the bearer of a state of consciousness. Though my monads differ from Leibniz’s in that they can interact with each other (Leibniz didn’t think relations are real and so disbelieved in causal interaction, which led him in peculiar directions).
