The forms
Plato believed that there are two distinct levels of reality: the visible, physical world and the invisible, metaphysical world of Forms. The physical world is characterized by constant change, whereas the world of Forms is eternal and unchanging.
Forms are abstract, universal concepts or ideas that exist independently of any particular physical objects. They are perfect, eternal, and unchanging, and they provide the basis for all knowledge and truth.

The marble analogy

The marbles do not interact with each other physically. Instead, they are all interconnected in a pre-established harmony.
This means that the behavior of each monad is determined by its own internal nature, rather than by external forces.
The monads are constantly changing and evolving, but they are also eternal and indestructible.
According to Leibniz, the universe is like a vast, complex machine made up of these individual monads, all working together in perfect harmony.
This view of the universe is known as Leibniz's Monadology, and it represents one of the most influential theories in the history of philosophy.
