In logic nothing is accidental: if a thing <i>can</i>
occur in an atomic fact the possibility of that atomic fact
must already be prejudged in the thing.</p>

It would, so to speak, appear as an accident,
when to a thing that could exist alone on its own account,
subsequently a state of affairs could be made to fit.</p>
<p>If things can occur in atomic facts, this possibility
must already lie in them.</p>
<p>(A logical entity cannot be merely possible. Logic
treats of every possibility, and all possibilities are its
facts.)</p>
<p>Just as we cannot think of spatial objects at all apart
from space, or temporal objects apart from time, so we cannot
think of <i>any</i> object apart from the possibility of its
connexion with other things.</p>
<p>If I can think of an object in the context of an atomic
fact, I cannot think of it apart from the <i>possibility</i> of
this context.</p>
</dd>
<dt> <a href="t20122en.html">2.0122</a>
</dt>
<dd>
The thing is independent, in so far as it can
occur in all <i>possible</i> circumstances, but this form of
independence is a form of connexion with the atomic fact, a
form of dependence. (It is impossible for words to occur in
two different ways, alone and in the proposition.)</p>
</dd>
<dt> <a href="t20123en.html"><b>2.0123</b></a>
</dt>
<dd>
If I know an object, then I also know all the
possibilities of its occurrence in atomic facts.</p>
<p>(Every such possibility must lie in the nature of the
object.)</p>
<p>A new possibility cannot subsequently be found.</p>
</dd>
<dt> <a href="t20124en.html">2.0124</a>

<dd>
If all objects are given, then thereby are all
<i>possible</i> atomic facts also given.</p>
