1. The world is all that is the case.
1.1 The world is the totality of facts, not of things.
2.02 Objects are simple.
2.0131 A spatial object must be situated in infinite space. (…) Notes must have pitch.
2.0232 In a manner of speaking, objects are colourless.
2.033 Form is the possibility of structure.
2.1 We make ourselves pictures of facts.
2.223 In order to tell wether a picture is true or false one must compare it with reality.
4.023 A proposition must restrict reality to two alternatives. YES or NO. (…)
4.116 Everything that can be thought at all can be thought clearly. Everything that can be put into words can be put clearly.
7. What we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence.
Ludwig Wittgenstein: Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921)
