but our physical existence consists of waves.

Half right.

Depends on how you look at it. (Somewhat like examining peanuts at a bar, they're complementary.)

Thank you so much for your post!

Indeed, there is much to be said about wave/particle duality - photon/light, etc.

IMHO, our existence is wavelike at the root. At the Planck Epoch all fundamental forces were unified, i.e. at the inception of the big bang, the four forces existed in a single state under supersymmetry.

Somewhere around 10-35 a split in the forces occurred, beginning the inflationary stage at about 10-32. Temperatures dropped then rose in a process orchestrated by gravity wave.

Quarks spawned under high temperatures, as the strong nuclear force and electroweak force were dissociated As temperatures fell, the weak nuclear force and electromagnetic force began operating independently (more wave phenomenon.) By 10-6 the quarks began organizing into hadrons, followed by electrons and other leptons. Both matter and antimatter were created in this baryogenesis, and most of them annihilated each other in bursts of gamma radiation and energetic photons (more wave phenomenon.)

I visualize particles (quarks, leptons and bosons) as placemarkers and messengers – instances in a dynamic panorama of wave phenomenon. I see their duality by not attributing ‘object’ status to them.

I see the initiating event as a harmonic, a quantum state change, possibly like a higher dimensional dynamic "shock wave."

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. – Psalms 33:6
