83 ” [ . . . ] die Geister [ sind ] fähig, das System des Universums zu erkennen und davon etwas in architektonischen Proben nachzuahmen, indem jeder Geist in seinem Bezirk wie eine kleine Gottheit ist.”

Leibniz, Gottfried Wilhelm: Monadologie. Stuttgart: Reclam, 1998. p 59

… the spirits are able to recognize the system of the universe and to imitate some of it in architectural work samples, whereby each spirit is like a little deity in its district.
