After googling "ontological dependence" I found this excellent intro for us
impure philosophy majors: (01)
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/dependence-ontological/ (02)
It is an English statement of the philosophical tree of stuff, annotated in

Recall that most of the recent discussion on this thread was in response
to my suggestion that functions play a role equally as important as
types in a foundation logic. (011)
