Mathematical formulation of Leibnizian world: a theory of individual-whole or interior-exterior reflective systems.

A world model, suggested by Leibniz's monadology, is formulated as a mathematical axiomatic system. The purpose of this world model is to provide a general scheme for describing a system of individuals having consciousness or internal worlds that communicate with each other and make a unified whole world, and moreover, the latter is reflected into the respective internal worlds and appears as an external world. Examples of such monadological structure of interior-exterior (or individual-whole) reflection can be observed in bio- or socio-systems and recently in computer networks. Moreover, a most elemental version of this structure can be found in the basic level of quantum physics. The model not only gives a prototype of monadological systems but also has an evolutionary ability to produce a hierarchy of monadological systems, which are interpreted as corresponding to various levels of consciousness.

Quantum monadology: a consistent world model for consciousness and physics.

The NL world model presented in the previous paper is embodied by use of relativistic quantum mechanics, which reveals the significance of the reduction of quantum states and the relativity principle, and locates consciousness and the concept of flowing time consistently in physics. This model provides a consistent framework to solve apparent incompatibilities between consciousness (as our interior experience) and matter (as described by quantum mechanics and relativity theory). Does matter have an inside? What is the flowing time now? Does physics allow the indeterminism by volition? The problem of quantum measurement is also resolved in this model.
