properties, I must know all its internal properties.


2.0124 If all objects are given, then at the same time all possible states
of affairs are also given.

space.


2.0131 A spatial object must be situated in infinite space. (A spatial
point is an argument-place.) A speck in the visual field, thought it need
not be red, must have some colour: it is, so to speak, surrounded by colour-
space. Notes must have some pitch, objects of the sense of touch some
degree of hardness, and so on.


2.014 Objects contain the possibility of all situations.

an object.
