What makes you see it this way? I'm a big fan of the wave-particle duality paradox, it proves how little we know, in spite of how much we do.
Well, I see the 'satoshi' as the smallest unitary element (the particle). But I see the blockchain and technology as the supporting matrix within which these particles traverse, propagate and exist (the wave). The closer we look at the satoshi, the more unimportant the wave properties. The more we pay attention to the blockchain, the less important the notion of the fundamental unit becomes. Satoshi is the quanta of the blockchain.
