= Primitive ontology

In particle <Bohmian mechanics>, actual particle configurations play this role; the <wave function> guides them. This is a way to specify an interpretation's account of matter, rather than a theorem that only particle ontologies are admissible.<On the Common Structure of Bohmian Mechanics and the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber Theory by Valia Allori and others>{ref}
