| Experiment on atom interaction |
For atomists natural world consists of two fundamental principles, atoms and void. Atoms are indestructible and immutable and
there are an infinite variety of shapes and sizes. They are the smallest possible division of matter and cannot be split, cut nor in any way further divided, but
they interact with each other, in a porous way.

| Representation of the Pythagorean monad |
The monads are "substantial forms of being", individual, subject to their own laws, un-interacting, and each reflecting the entire universe in a pre-established harmony. Monads are centers of force. Unlike atoms, monads possess no material or spatial character and have a complete mutual independence without interaction, they are impermeable.
