[lit-ideas] Die Gegenstande bilden die Substanz der Welt. Darum konnen sie nicht zusammenges

Die Gegenstande bilden die Substanz der Welt.  Darum konnen sie nicht
zusammengesetzt sein. Hätte die Welt keine Substanz, so  würde, ob ein Satz Sinn
hat, davon abhängen, ob ein anderer Satz wahr  ist.

2.021 Die Gegenstande bilden die Substanz der Welt. Darum konnen sie  nicht
zusammengesetzt sein.
2.0211 Hätte die Welt keine Substanz, so würde,  ob ein Satz Sinn hat,
davon abhängen, ob ein anderer Satz wahr  ist.

Literally:

The 'again-stand' (plural) 'build' the substance  of the 'world'. Thus,
they ('she') cannot
be 'zusammengesetz, 'set together'.  'set to some'.

Had the world no substance, then whether one 'saw' or  saying 'had' 'sense'
would therefore 'hang' from whether another 'saw' is  'true'.

Meaning:
We have a chair, a little old lady, a book,  and a cat on the mat. This is
the substance of the world. It's useless to  analyse what the old lady is
composed of. That would blow up the whole  universe.
What's more, if she is the wife of Old MacDonald, who had a farm,  she
cannot be a composite. For in a world without substance, whether Old  MacDonald
had a farm says something would depend on the truth-conditions that
_describe_ that farm ('on that farm he had some geese'), but that is  
_understood_.
