The ontologist Reinhardt Grossmann (in _The categorial structure of
the world_ and _The existence of the world_) proposes that the world
is "made of" facts (more specifically, that it _is_ a complex fact,
that being a fact composed of simpler facts), with facts in turn
being composed of relations between a whole variety of entities -
individuals, properties, relations, structures, classes, quantifiers...
This much I can follow, but when he proposes that existence itself
is the ultimate substratum of the world, he loses me.
