The Individuality of Being

The individuality of being
°
I’m currently reading a very interesting book about Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.
°
He is considered a universal spirit and the most important philosopher, mathematician, lawyer, historian and political advisor of the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
His intellectual heritage, which is characterized by an incredible wealth of creativity, has not yet been fully researched scientifically.
°
To entertain a court party in Herrhausener Park in Hanover, he asked them to find two exactly identical leaves.
°
His research and descriptions led to many technical inventions.
°
To give just one example: He described the binary system. A number system based on two digits: 0 and 1.
°
Today it serves as the basis of all digital computers and is used to represent data or instructions in machine-readable form.
°
An ornament was placed on his coffin showing a zero within a 1, supplemented by the inscription “OMNIA AD UNUM” something like: “Everything (refers) to the one”
°
I encounter the story and thoughts of Leibnitz at a time when another theory that our perceived world could be a hologram cannot let me go.
°
Leonard Susskind said: “The three-dimensional world of everyday experience – the universe full of galaxies, stars, planets, houses, boulders and people – is a hologram, an image of reality, encoded on a distant two-dimensional surface.”
°
The book about Leibnitz and his thoughts inspired me. His thirst for knowledge and optimism are contagious.
°
All of these thoughts have something to do with this photo.
Individuality in focus. A three-dimensional impression that is transferred to two-dimensionality.
