| Logical space: is the designation by L. Wittgenstein in his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus for a set of independent (atomic) sentences that are connected with the truth value true or false. Some of these sentences will represent facts or elements of facts. These facts can be conceived as possible worlds and localized as points in the logical space._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Robert Stalnaker on Logical Space - Dictionary of Arguments
I 81 Glue/Glueness/Stalnaker: glue does not form a region in logical space. >Grue. Logical space: principle: all relations must be found on intrinsic properties. >Intrinsicness, >Relations, >Foundation. I 83/84 Def Equivalence/localization/logical space/Stalnaker: saying that i is equivalent to j is to say that the localization functions i and j represent the same possible world. >Equivalence. Def intrinsic property: an intrinsic property is a region in logical space that is invariant with respect to this equivalence relation. Contrast: the contrasting property is the conventional property. >Conventions, >Properties. I 85 Logical space/Stalnaker: logical space does not exist independently of the individuals who inhabit it, but is abstracted from the world as we find it. >Abstraction. I 127 Spatial/logical/Stalnaker: solution/Stalnaker: the solution is our intuition: most of us have an actualistic conception of a possible world and possible individuals, but they represent a possibilism regarding spatial localization. Places north and south of us are just as real. We do not need surrogates for absent objects - even if there is no world-independent identity, there is still a localization-independent one. >Localization, >Identity._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
