    "abstract": "In a recent article, Dieks has proposed a way to implement the modal\ninterpretation of (nonrelativistic) quantum theory in relativistic quantum\nfield theory. We show that his proposal fails to yield a well-defined\nprescription for which observables in a local spacetime region possess definite\nvalues. On the other hand, we demonstrate that there is a well-defined and\nunique way of extending the modal interpretation to the local algebras of\nrelativistic quantum field theory. This extension, however, faces a potentially\nserious difficulty in connection with ergodic states of a field.",
