300 years of progress

There are two recurring "labyrinths of the Mind" that Leibniz refers to throughout the Baroque cycle. The first is free will vs predestination. The second is the composition of continuum, that is, the infinite subdivisions of matter.

Subjective reality solves both of those.

Choice exists because choice is perceived and hence made real. Even if our choices do follow some pattern we still perceive the act of choosing, and hence choice exists.

The spectrum of continuum is infinite because by observing a thing as an object with devidable subcomponents you make those same sub components. Perception is law, so as long as you see it as something divisible it will always be divisible.

Buddah 1, Leibniz 0.
