Experimental results of looking at matter shows a fundamental
particle/wave duality. This duality has been shown to be constant and
valid through experiments that condition a view to particle like, or
wave like results. This anomaly of results has caused considerable
consternation, and out-right rebuke from traditionalists; but empirical
evidence continually shows this dichotomy to be a fact of nature.

    The diadein hypothesis postulates that all particles and forces
exhibit a field-like and a point-like aspect when viewed from
experimental perspectives, because they have those aspects as
constituent ratios of their make-up; they are made of those ratios and
will show the aspect that is conditioned by the view availed by the
experiment:

    We set up an experiment that will show wave-like properties of
photons, and we then see interference properties; we set up an
experiment to show a particle-like nature to light, and see the
photo-electric effect.

    This particle/wave duality can be bridged, or bound across
(diadein) by viewing the particle and the wave conditions exhibited, as
conditional aspects that are inculcated within each particle or force, a
ratio of potentiality that conditions our view depending on the
experiment we set up to view material nature. An attempt at an
explanation of the diadein hypothesis using the Mandelbrot set as a
conceptual metaphor can be found at:
