All life is information processing, we live in a mathematical universe - the smallest particles do not exist physically, but are collection of properties, known by the qualities that are evident in interactions. Could say they exist in between the purely abstract non physical and the 3D material physical reality.

Matter and life are built up from simple mathematical properties.

The human spirit or soul is not a compound object - it is a monad, just as integers are but possesses unique qualities.

 

Explanation of monads:

 

Monads mirror – each one under its own aspect – the entire universe, and these mirrorings involve not only the present, but also past and virtual future states. But this must not be understood as causal influence or interaction, because this would contradict their being "fensterlos" (window-less) and their existence as substantial units. What is perceived as effect is really based on an ideal influence established by God, who by thinking through all possible states and courses of the world, accounts for every substance. This is the principle of "prästabilierte Harmonie".

 

[…] and can be sleeping or awake. So is the idea really that those monads (of which I think like "atoms") are like "minds" or living beings?

 

Leibniz uses the term Monad for individual substances, which have no parts. ("La Monade … n'est autre chose, qu'une substance simple, qui entre dans les composés; simple, c'est à dire, sans parties") This is a continuation of, and includes, scholastic traditions ("ens et unum convertuntur").

 

This is in contrast to Descartes' dualism. Leibniz takes the modern concept of individuals, well-founded in Descartes' cogito argument, and lifts the soul-having "I" to being the substance. The infinite number of ideal, individual, and dynamic substances, which all mirror the entire universe, is Leibniz' answer to Descartes' dualism, Spinoza's monism, and Gassendi's atomism.

What does that mean in our lives?

 

HBO had a series featuring the character "John Monad" - cancelled of course, by the same man who did the TV show "Deadwood"
