4.1

A proposition presents the existence and non-existence of atomic facts.

4.11

The totality of true propositions is the total natural science (or the totality of the natural sciences).

4.12

Propositions can represent the whole reality, but they cannot represent what they must have in common with reality in order to be able to represent it -- the logical form.

To be able to represent the logical form, we should have to be able to put ourselves with the propositions outside logic, that is outside the world.
