Model/Tractatus: the model itself is a part of reality and therefore consists of facts.
Hence: (2.141) the picture is a fact.
Mapping/Form/World/Tractatus: the "form of the mapping" is the possibility that things relate to each other like the elements of the image (2.151)

Solution: Assignment rule. (2.1513 – 2.1515)
