In what follows Wittgenstein's propositions will be stated and my comments will follow.
Also where logical notation is indicated the reader should check the text.
1. The world is all that is the case.
for this to be so - all that is the case - for it to be the case - must
distinguish from all that is not the case
the world is this - all that is the case and all that is not the case
all that is the case and all that is not the case is the ground of possibility
the world is the ground of possibility
the world is logical possibility
1.1. The world is the totality of facts, not things.
facts are possibles
things are possibles
the world is what is possible
there is no totality
totality is the end of possibility
1.11. The world is determined by the facts, and by there being all the facts.
facts do not determine
there is nothing to determine
the world is indeterminate
facts are indeterminate
the world is determined by no fact
1.12. For the totality of facts determines what is the case, and also what is
not the case.
what is the case and what is not the case is not determined
there is no totality of facts
(the totality of facts is one fact
one fact determines nothing
the world is not one fact)
1.13. The facts in logical space are the world.
logical space does not require facts
the world does not require facts
the world is logical space
logical space is the ground of possibility
facts are possible
1.2. The world divides into facts.
the world is not divisible
facts express the world
1.21. Each item can be the case or not the case while everything else
remains the same.
possibility is not fixed
no item can remain the same
everything is not the same
