Abstract
Leibniz's monadology, especially its theorem of the fold, may serve as a poetics for the readability of Baroque texts. The representational uncertainty and playful metaphors of Baroque expressions may then be understood as results of a universal philosophy of implication and explication that concerns both the texts and the soul. This philosophy defines a structural knowledge and a resultant dynamic access to the world, in the modality of infinite receptivity. Whatever is repeatedly folded in, exists already hidden in existing folds.
