    By “ontology,” I mean a theory about the basic substances that constitute the world, where “substances” are self-subsistent entities that never come into existence and never go out of existence. That is what we implicitly assume when we take objects in the natural world to exist independently ourselves. They must be made of something that can exist on its own, or else they would depend on us. (And they must be related to one another in some way to exist together as a world.) To be the best ontology, as the empirical method requires, however, such a theory would have to postulate the fewest and simplest basic substances (and basic relationship) that can explain everything in the world.
