Résumé
What if the source code for modern Artificial Intelligence was written in 1666? In the 17th century, the polymath Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz dreamed of the Characteristica Universalis -a perfect, mathematical language capable of expressing all human thought-and the Calculus Ratiocinator, a machine that could calculate truth as easily as arithmetic. He believed that if we could reduce concepts to prime numbers, we could resolve all human conflict by simply sitting down and saying: "Calculemus-Let us calculate." For three hundred years, this remained a philosophical fantasy.
Today, with the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini, Leibniz's dream has suddenly and startlingly materialized. But the machine is incomplete. The Digital Monadology is a comprehensive treatise that bridges the gap between the metaphysics of the Enlightenment and the engineering of the 21st century. Author Elan Moritz argues that modern AI has mastered the "Universal Character" (through high-dimensional vector embeddings) but lacks the "Rational Calculus" (rigorous logic verification).
This decoupling of language from logic is the root cause of AI "hallucination." This book is not just a history; it is a technical roadmap for the future of AGI. It explores how we can close the gap by integrating the probabilistic creativity of neural networks with the deterministic rigor of formal systems. Inside this extensive volume, you will discover: The Archaeology of AI: Trace the lineage of the "Perfect Language" from the mystic combinatorial wheels of Ramon Llull (13th Century) to the massive taxonomies of John Wilkins and the empirical instrumentation of Robert Hooke. The Philosophy of Vectors: A deep dive into how modern Word2Vec and Transformer architectures fulfill Leibniz's requirement for an "Alphabet of Human Thought, " transforming semantics into geometry. The Solution to Hallucination: A technical proposal for Neuro-Symbolic AI, utilizing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Formal Verification layers to ground the AI in truth. The Metaphysics of Agents: A radical re-reading of Leibniz's Monadology as a technical specification for autonomous Multi-Agent Systems.
Theodicy and Alignment: How the "Alignment Problem" is actually a modern retelling of the theological problem of Evil, and how we define "The Best of All Possible Worlds" in code. Detailed Appendices Included: The book concludes with a rich collection of appendices that serve as a "University in a Book, " including: Biographical profiles of the "Old Royal Society" (Wilkins, Hooke) and the "New Royal Society" (Wolfram, Hinton, Sutskever).
Primers on Knowledge Graphs, Transformers, and Constructed Languages (from Babel to Lojban). An exegesis of Giordano Bruno and the origins of Generative Image models. The Digital Monadology is essential reading for AI engineers, philosophers, historians of science, and anyone seeking to understand the deep intellectual DNA of the digital mind.
