Abstract
It is argued that, based on a new analysis of two-body systems, wave function realism seems to imply an unique ontological interpretation of the wave function, according to which the wave function represents the state of random discontinuous motion of particles, and in particular, its modulus square gives the probability density of the particles appearing in certain positions in space.
