Interpreting the Modal Kochen-Specker theorem: Possibility and many worlds in quantum mechanics

In this paper we attempt to physically interpret the Modal Kochen-Specker (MKS) theorem. In order to do so, we analyze the features of the possible properties of quantum systems arising from the elements in an orthomodular lattice and distinguish the use of "possibility" in the classical a...
