“Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (Ogden translation)
1* OGD [→GER | →P/M]
The world is everything that is the case.
1.1 OGD [→GER | →P/M]
The world is the totality of facts, not of things.
1.11 OGD [→GER | →P/M]
The world is determined by the facts, and by these being all the facts.
1.12 OGD [→GER | →P/M]
For the totality of facts determines both what is the case, and also all that is not the case.
1.13 OGD [→GER | →P/M]
The facts in logical space are the world.
1.2 OGD [→GER | →P/M]”
