    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.The failure of property composition implies property holism.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.In state |ψ9⟩, the properties of the particle pair do not supervene upon the properties of its subsystems and the spatiotemporal relations between them.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Modal interpretations assign definite properties via preferred observables determined by the reduced density matrix of each subsystem independently.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If each subsystem's definite properties are fixed by its own reduced state, the joint system's properties may be recoverable from subsystem states plus correlations.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Supervenience failure requires showing no logically possible base-level completion recovers whole-system properties, which modal interpretations' biorthogonal decomposition does not conclusively preclude.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Clifton (1995) demonstrated that in certain modal interpretations, possessed properties of composite systems are fully determined by the properties of components under the spectral decomposition rule.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.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.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    The failure of property composition implies that the quantum realm as depicted by the above version of the modal interpretation involves state non-separability and property and relational holism. State separability fails because the state of the particle pair is not generally determined by the separate states of the particles. Indeed, as is easily shown, the actual properties that the L- and the R-particle each has in the state |ψ9> are also compatible with product states in which the L- and
