In his 1918 logical atomism lectures, Russell argued that there are no molecular facts. But he posed a problem for anyone wanting to avoid facts: we need truth-makers generalizations of formulas, but such seem be both unavoidable and have an abominably character. Call this the generalized formulas. I clarify here by distinguishing two kinds formula: incompletely formulas completely next argue that, if empty worlds logically possible, then model-theoretic truth-functional considerations usually given address first kind formula, not second kind. show Russell’s commitments in provide answer formulas: some will non-atomic facts constituents. This shows neo-logical atomist goal defending principle atomicity—the only atomic truth-makers—is realizable.
