After profiling the broad ontological distinctions separating the modalities and their basic distinctions, it is possible to clarify the ontology of the individual modalities. All of the six modalities have a determinate range of independence. Instead of stressing so much what separates the modalities, the following discussion is intended to look within each of them, apply the idea of the self-image and likeness, and integrate Ingardian ideas of ontological in/determinacy. In addition, technical media will be discussed, but only generically, to the degree that broad ontological distinctions can be made.
