2.01

An atomic fact is a combination of objects (entities, things).

2.011

It is essential to a thing that it can be a constituent part of an atomic fact.

2.012

In logic nothing is accidental: if a thing can occur in an atomic fact the possibility of that atomic fact must already be prejudged in the thing.

2.013

Every thing is, as it were, in a space of possible atomic facts. I can think of this space as empty, but not of the thing without the space.

2.014

Objects contain the possibility of all states of affairs.
