II 175
Situation/Simons: a situation does not correspond as complete to a sentence as a complex does. Negative and disjunctive situations are possible. A situation is a non-material (i.e. "non-thing") entity.
>Complex, >Sentences, >Facts, >States of affairs.
II 176
Different approach: a situation corresponds to a truth-function of an atomic sentence. We reject negative and disjunctive objects, therefore situations have a precarious thing-like character, contrary to a complex.
>Atomic sentence, >Truth functions.
Non-negative situation: if at least one of the atomistic complexes exists in it, we have a non-negative situation. N.B.: then situations have different parts in different worlds.
>Possible Worlds.
Situation: a situation is mereologically variable.
Complex: a complex is not variable.
>Mereology.
