# 2.0124 explained — Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

> Chapter companion for Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus by Ludwig Wittgenstein.

## What happens

The proposition asserts that the totality of objects determines all possible atomic facts, linking ontology to the structure of possible states of affairs.

## Themes in this chapter

### Logical Atomism

The proposition exemplifies logical atomism by asserting that given all objects, all possible atomic facts are determined.

## Character check-ins

### Mr. Wittgenstein

Author of the Tractatus, presenting the logical relationship between objects and atomic facts.

## Key lines

> If all objects are given, then thereby are all possible atomic facts also given.

Knowing all objects automatically yields all possible configurations of those objects into atomic facts.

_This connects the ontology of objects to the combinatorial possibilities of states of affairs._
