The logical problem with your conclusion is that the divine Monad (and
I am only addressing the divine Monad) is supposed to be perfect.
If any differences exist whatsoever, then one has to be "better" in some
way than another, and thus the "lesser" can't be perfect. The only
way that I can see for "perfection" or "completeness" to be assigned
is for all to be absolutely 100% identical.
Perhaps your "different" monads were "rays" rather than the=20
divine Monads?
