Popis: | In the previous chapter we agued that every theory provides a collection of physical possibilities, − they are the (basic) elements of its associated magnitude vector space. The elements of that space are the modal physical possibilities provided by the theory. We will now explain why they are genuine modal possibilities, and not merely a loose way of speaking. |
