WHAT IS A PARTICLE FROM THE STANDPOINT OF SYSTEMS-THEORY

Our theory of collective motions of open system [2,3] is generalized to the case of systems distributed in m-dimensional space. We propose a rigorous definition of a particle in terms of systems theory. A concrete image of a particle, conceived as a localized collective entity in Space, is obtained. It turns out that wave-corpuscle duality is nothing else but a simple consequence of general equations of collective motions: particles appear at the output as collective manifestations of inner states, and waves appear at the input as guiding waves of particles.
