Ways of working
Modes is the plural of mode—a way, manner, or style of doing something.
Different modes of transportation include cars, trains, and planes.
A device's modes are its operational states: airplane mode, sleep mode.
In music, modes are scales with distinct interval patterns, like Dorian or Mixolydian.
In statistics, a mode is the most frequently occurring value in a dataset.
