- This paper is the first in-depth investigation of the notion of generic dependence which has been proposed by some ontologists to account for entities such as information artefacts, which can exist in the absence of appropriate physical bearers but do not depend on any specific bearer. Part of the paper's novelty is the critical examination of diverse ontological categories such as shape, information, and collectives as candidate examples of generic dependence, and raising seriously the question of to what extent this categorisation of them is warranted.
