I suspect if you take this analysis to its zenith nothing would hold up.

I think technically a table holds itself up Sorry, I’ll get my coat …

That something we suspect we’ll find we’d call the “fundamental reality” of the thing. The essence of what makes it it.

Thanks for giving your definition of essence over here. We were definitely had different definitions of essence on the other thread. My assumption was that (at the very least) ‘things’ are not ‘things’ without someone to perceive them. Too much time spent as a solipsist I guess. My bad.
