 The general idea of modal interpretations, more or less in the spirit of Van Fraassen, can be applied more widely. For one thing, it is cognate to some of the views expressed in the decoherent histories literature. Decoherent histories could be seen as alternative possible histories of the world, one of which is in fact actualised. A discussion in these terms has been outlined by Hemmo (1996). Such views are also possibly quite close to Everett’s own views, who (maybe surprisingly for the modern reader) was not a realist but an empiricist. A discussion of Everett with parallels to Van Fraassen is given by Barrett (2015). One final view that has some similarities with Van Fraassen’s and should be equally able to exploit the results of decoherence is Rovelli’s  relational quantum mechanics  (see also Van Fraassen 2010).
