    Part of a larger discussion

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

    Process separability requires only that processes supervene on intrinsic properties of spacetime parts, which modal property assignment per subsystem satisfies.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Supervenience on intrinsic spacetime properties provides a minimal physicalist criterion that avoids commitment to non-local or holistic fundamental entities.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Modal property assignment per subsystem captures the determinate physical facts needed for process individuation without requiring global constraints.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.This framework respects the intuition that separated spacetime regions should possess independent physical descriptions grounded in local intrinsics.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Entangled quantum systems possess correlated modal properties that cannot be assigned independently to subsystems without losing physical content.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Spacetime parts may lack intrinsic properties entirely; relational or structural properties may be more fundamental than posited intrinsics.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Process identity across time requires historical continuity facts that supervene on whole-world properties, not local spacetime regions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
