Particle-wave duality, you know...

They are neither. Both words are just English approximations of the
physical description.

These qm things are mental tinsel until somebody comes to their senses and begins to look at electromagnetic properties which exist through creation and influence everything from planetary orbital motion to stellar evolution to crystal development.

Penrose got it right to a certain degree that non periodic crystal development (quasicrystals are a misnomer) says more about the background conditions for crystal development than it says about the crystals themselves. If somebody would clue into the fact that it is not possible to isolate a quasicrystal as it needs a number of them to create the symmetry that is neither ordered nor random.

With the phony arguments of wave/particle wrecking havoc with the ability to discern a true duality of random/ordered , this productive area of research will remain moribund in early 20th century indulgences.

The parent geometry which satisfies the arrangement of crystals is as encompassing as it is lovely.
