Atomic facts are independent of one another.
2.062
From the existence or nonexistence of an atomic fact we cannot infer the existence or nonexistence of another.
2.063
The total reality is the world.
2.1
We make to ourselves pictures of facts.
2.11
The picture presents the facts in logical space, the existence and nonexistence of atomic facts.
2.12
The picture is a model of reality.
2.13
To the objects correspond in the picture the elements of the picture.
2.131
The elements of the picture stand, in the picture, for the objects.
2.14
The picture consists in the fact that its elements are combined with one another in a definite way.
2.141
The picture is a fact.
2.15
That the elements of the picture are combined with one another in a definite way, represents that the things are so combined with one another.
This connection of the elements of the picture is called its structure, and the possibility of this structure is called the form of representation of the picture.
2.151
The form of representation is the possibility that the things are combined with one another as are the elements of the picture.
