  This claim is associated with quantum holism and holism more generally (see Horgan and Potrc 2000 and 2002). As mentioned above this is arguably implied by the conjunction of (3) and (4), and also by (5). The basic idea of ontological subsistence is that of being able to exist without anything else existing. The notions of ontological dependence and ontological subsistence are often employed in discussions of structuralism but are in need of clarification (see Linnebo 2008). Kerry McKenzie (forthcoming) uses Fine's recent analyses of ontological dependence to argue against eliminativist OSR and in favour of moderate structural realism based on a case study from particle physics.
