Tractatus 1

1. The world is all that is the case.

what is the case is what is proposed –

the world – is what is proposed

a proposal is open to question – open to doubt – and uncertain –

the world is open to question – open to doubt – and uncertain

1.1. The world is the totality of facts, not things.

facts are proposals – things are proposals – the world is proposal –

it makes no sense to speak of the totality of facts / proposals –

propositional action is on-going and indeterminate

proposals – propositions – are open to question – open to doubt – and are uncertain

1.11. The world is determined by the facts, and by there being all the facts.

‘the world’ – is  not determined – the world is open – open to question – open to doubt – and uncertain

‘facts’ – are proposals – open to question – open to doubt – and uncertain

as to their being ‘all the facts’ –

it makes no logical sense to speak of ‘all the facts’ –

propositional action – the putting of proposals – of facts – is on-going and indeterminate

what we deal with – is what is proposed – and what is proposed – at any time and place

           

1.12. For the totality of facts determines what is the case, and also what is not the

case.

there is no totality of facts – facts are proposals – and propositional action is on-going – and indeterminate

what is proposed – is not determined –

what is proposed – is open – open to question – open to doubt – and uncertain

what is the case – is what is proposed –

what is not the case – is what is not proposed –

1.13. The facts in logical space are the world.

facts are proposals – propositions –

what we deal with is propositions – and propositional constructs

the notion of ‘logical space’ – is irrelevant to propositional action

the world is propositional

1.2. The world divides into facts.

you can put the proposal that the world divides into facts / propositions

this is just another proposal – open to question – open to doubt – and uncertain

1.21. Each item can be the case or not the case while everything else remains the

same.

‘each item’ – is – each proposal –

a proposal put is the case

and what is proposed – is open to question – open to doubt – and uncertain

what is not the case – is that which is not proposed –

‘everything else remains the same’ –

‘everything else’ – is what is not proposed
