There is no reality on which the parts are dependent.
This is the fourth analysis of seven. If there were a reality on which the parts depended, this would mean that the parts themselves were not real since they were not singular, lasting, and independent. How could one have something real comprised of things that weren't? From another perspective, if there were a reality on which the parts depended, we should be able to find it. However, having gone through the exercise of looking for such a reality, we know that one does not exist. When we disassemble the parts, there is no object (no cart or car in this case). Thus, there is no reality inside. It cannot be separate from the parts either, since the object is dependent on the parts--if we were to take them away, there would be no object.
