Seems to me that "sense making" in
various senses could be seen as a kind
of monadizing or unifying activity or
approach inasmuch as it's seen in the
sense of an interpretive activity with
the objective of creating "workable
models" as if they could be
"sufficiently defined within whatever
reality/truth parameters" as if notions
about Maya were irrelevant during such
defining, life making, worldview making,
sense making, as if such
theoretics/worldviews amounted to real
or "real enough" shell-like modules.
I'm not saying that such
worldview-making doesn't amount to or
involve something "real enough" (ie,
"obviously enough I'm here," still
worldviewing/speculating, aren't I ...
^:-/ ...), but seems to me that belief
structures on this planet, in general,
might be seen in terms of representing
"karmic/mayavic" shell-like/protective
structures (or "monadics," in a sense)
and reifications that Theosophy might
define as "karmic," and so seems to me
that what's known as as a human tendency
to "worldview" or "make sense" (per
whatever interpretive tendency) might be
alternately seen/interpreted as being
(somewhat interestingly ...) allied to
the apparent
(exoteric/mayavic/pluralistic/misleading)
"monads" of Theosophy---though "monad,"
by definition, is supposed to be
Unitary, isn't it, to begin with, so ...

Speculatively,
