1646–1716
The Monad (The Artist as Reflective Point)
Leibniz: each monad is a windowless point that mirrors the whole universe from its perspective. The GAI's entries are Leibnizian monads. Each artist is a windowless record. No artist communicates with another through the database; they communicate only through the reader. The reader is the pre-established harmony. The browsing is the optics. The compossibility is alphabetical.
