    Challenges→Property holism holds in the modal interpretation of quantum mechanics.

    If property composition holds for at least some entangled states under the Kochen-Dieks modal interpretation, holism cannot be stated as a general thesis about modal interpretations as a class.

    Key Terms

    Entangled states(as used in quantum mechanics and philosophy of physics)
    In quantum physics, a situation where two or more particles are connected in such a way that measuring one instantly affects the other, no matter how far apart they are.
    Holism(Mid-twentieth-century individualism/holism debates)
    A position in the individualism/holism debates that treats social entities as irreducible to individualistic entities, without denying the existence of the non-social
    Kochen-Dieks modal interpretation(as a named philosophical position in quantum mechanics)
    A specific theory about how to understand quantum mechanics, developed by physicists Simon Kochen and Dieter Dieks, that focuses on what properties particles actually have versus what we can know about them.
    Modal interpretation(as used in quantum mechanics)
    A way of understanding quantum mechanics that focuses on what is possible versus what is actual, rather than saying particles have definite properties at all times.
