Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
Monadology, pre-established harmony, origin of the substance concept.
More on LeibnizForerunners of the Quantum Monads Theory
Sixteen thinkers provide the intellectual backbone of the Quantum Monads project. Their ideas – from the monadology (Leibniz) and transcendental critique (Kant) to complementarity (Bohr), non-locality (Bell), and autopoietic systems (Luhmann) – converge here into one coherent field.
In the architecture of the theory, these forerunners feed into XQM (roof/substance), VQM (relation/coupling), IEQ (measurement/simulation), and XDM (ethics/governance).
