    It is not the case that Relational holism requires that holistic properties be ontologically real, but modal interpretations lack a principled account of which properties are actually possessed.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Modal interpretations needn't claim properties are unreal; they can treat actuality as determined by the entire modal structure itself.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The indeterminacy problem affects all interpretations equally—it's about measurement, not whether holism requires ontological commitment.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Relational holism may be explanatorily useful without requiring that holistic properties exist as fundamental furniture of reality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Relational properties like entanglement genuinely constrain physical systems in ways individual properties cannot explain alone.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Modal interpretations assign reality only to possible states, leaving actual relational facts causally inert and explanatorily idle.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Without ontological commitment to holistic properties, we cannot justify why certain correlated outcomes occur rather than others.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
