Well, I'm glad you've grasped the essence of what I'm saying. Some things -notably reducible things - do depend on others - less reducible ones - for their existence - and this leads to a hierachy at the top of which is Supreme or Ultimate Reality - Which is completely irreducible to anything else. Simple really - but with very profound implications, which can be readily grasped if one is not too superficial. All the greatest and profoundest things are supremely simple. And usually considered beneath notice by superficial people.
