Or indeed see the SEP on Modal Interpretations since it is arguable that Bohmian mechanics is a special case:
Bub suggests that a number of traditional interpretations of quantum theory can be characterized as modal interpretations if the existence of a preferred observable is allowed. Notable among them are the Dirac-von Neumann interpretation, (what Bub takes to be) Bohr’s interpretation, and Bohm’s theory. In the last case, Bub argues that Bohm’s theory can be recovered as a modal interpretation in which the R is the position observable.
There is an interesting further question about whether the modal concept of “possibility” can be further reduced… I guess Eliezer would argue that it should be.
