Abstract
Motivated by a desire to make precise the position of structural realism, David Wallace recently articulated a framework for understanding the relationship between metaphysical and scientific theories. In this paper, I demonstrate two particularly significant consequences of this framework for the metaphysics of science, unrelated to considerations from structural realism: that it underwrites resolutions to both Putnam's (permutation) paradox and the new riddle of induction.
