In this paper we develop a reconstruction of the Tractatus ontology. The basic idea is that objects are unsaturated and that Sachlagen are like molecules.

It is atomistic, i.e., each Sachlage is the supremum of the Sachverhalte below it. We exhibit ...

The claim arrived at is that whilst Russell (at times at least) has one particular ...
