 Although the above account of identity-dependence is not entirely uncontroversial, there are some interesting applications of it in the literature. One of these applications concerns a version of Ontic Structural Realism (OSR, see Ladyman 1998), which claims that objects depend for their identities on the structures to which they belong (ID-OSR) (see French 2010 for one version, and see Lowe 2012 and O’Conaill 2014 for further discussion of OSR and dependence).
