Fundamental physical ontologies and the constraint of empirical coherence: a defense of wave function realism.

This paper defends wave function realism against the charge that the view is empirically incoherent because our evidence for quantum theory involves facts about objects in three-dimensional space or space-time (local beables). It also criticizes previous attempts to defend wave function realism agai...
