To this end, the first four sections present the background of this experiment. We then design our experimental model, which is of course a simplified version of the world. In the remaining sections, we show how a significant part of the disputes and Leibnizian claims about possible worlds are clarified in light of the way morphological boxes work. Moreover, a new way of thinking about God's creative act is derived from this experiment. Finally, we discuss a proposal to make our model more complex, the challenges of such an attempt, and draw some conclusions not only concerning Leibniz but also with regard to the field of philosophy in general.
