phenomena bene fundata

phenomena bene fundata: (Lat., well-founded phenomena) The phrase is especially associated with Leibniz . Any created monad's perceptions or phenomena will be more or less confused.

Perceptions of ordinary objects or even rainbows fall into this class, as opposed to dreams and hallucinations.
