Is this taken word by word from wikipedia? A monad is an entity that has no purpose other than relation to itself, but can be part of a structure that employs functionality or meaning. I think the problems around this concept for most is, that causality is not a requirement yet, so things don't have to make sense to be part of constructing upon them. An analogy in IT might be, that worrying about traversal of a graph is a problem domain in time and space and causality that involves questions around loop detection and recursion because you deal from a pov that has those constraints. But that's not a problem yet in the domain of structure as it. This took some brain, so i hope it's a good try on explanation.
