    "abstract": "Modal interpretations have the ambition to construe quantum mechanics as an\nobjective, man-independent description of physical reality. Their second\nleading idea is probabilism: quantum mechanics does not completely fix physical\nreality but yields probabilities. In working out these ideas an important motif\nis to stay close to the standard formalism of quantum mechanics and to refrain\nfrom introducing new structure by hand. In this paper we explain how this\nprogramme can be made concrete. In particular, we show that the Born\nprobability rule, and sets of definite-valued observables to which the Born\nprobabilities pertain, can be uniquely defined from the quantum state and\nHilbert space structure. We discuss the status of probability in modal\ninterpretations, and to this end we make a comparison with many-worlds\nalternatives. An overall point that we stress is that the modal ideas define a\ngeneral framework and research programme rather than one definite and finished\ninterpretation.",
