    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Process separability fails in the modal interpretation of quantum mechanics.

    If each subsystem possesses its own definite modal properties independently, then the causal processes governing each subsystem are locally specifiable, preserving process separability.

    Key Terms

    Causal processes(as used in philosophy)
    A chain of events where one thing causes another to happen; the natural sequence of cause and effect already in motion.
    Locally specifiable(in philosophy of physics and systems theory)
    Able to be completely described and explained by looking only at what's happening in that immediate area or system, without needing information from distant parts.
    modal properties(Discussion of what entities bear modal properties in the context of the modal argument)
    Properties such as being necessarily true, contingently true, necessarily false, or contingently false, and being true or false at a possible world.
    process separability(Philosophy of quantum mechanics)
    The condition under which physical processes involving composite systems are fully determined by processes occurring in their subsystems.

    subsystem(describing properties of parts of a physical system)
    A smaller part of a larger system that can be studied on its own, like examining one instrument in an orchestra rather than the whole band.
