1 The world is everything that is the case.	The world is everything that is the case.	The world is all that is the case.
1.1 The world is the totality of facts, not of things.	The world is the totality of facts, not of things.	The world is the totality of facts, not of things.
1.11 The world is determined by the facts, and by the fact that they are all the facts.	The world is determined by the facts, and by these being all the facts.	The world is determined by the facts, and by their being all the facts.
1.12 For the totality of facts determines what is the case and also all that is not the case.	For the totality of facts determines both what is the case, and also all that is not the case.	For the totality of facts determines what is the case, and also whatever is not the case.

1.21 One thing can be the case or not be the case and everything else remain the same.	Any one can either be the case or not be the case, and everything else remain the same.	Each item can be the case or not the case while everything else remains the same.

2.01 The Sachverhalt atomic fact is a combination of objects (entities, things).	An atomic fact is a combination of objects (entities, things).	A state of affairs (a state of things) is a combination of objects (things).
2.011 It is essential to a thing that it can be a constituent part of an atomic fact.	It is essential to a thing that it can be a constituent part of an atomic fact.	It is essential to things that they should be possible constituents of states of affairs.
2.012 In logic nothing is accidental: if the thing can occur in an atomic fact, the possibility of the atomic fact must already be prejudged in the thing.	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.	In logic nothing is accidental: if a thing can occur in a state of affairs, the possibility of the state of affairs must be written into the thing itself.
2.0121 It would appear as if by chance if to a thing that could exist alone	It would, so to speak, appear as an accident, when to a thing that could exist alone	It would seem to be a sort of accident, if it turned out that a situation would fit a

The decimal numbers as indices for the individual propositions indicate the logical weight of the propositions, the emphasis placed upon them in my exposition. The propositions n.1, n.2, n.3, etc., are remarks on proposition No. n; the propositions n.m1, n.m2, etc., are remarks on proposition No. n.m; and so on.
