# Wave-particle duality: tick-source (particle) + Integrate (wave) — keystone architectural insight

> **EXTENDED 2026-05-18 by [B-0665](B-0665-three-primitive-collapse-observe-emit-limit-plus-integrate-as-choice-locus-ienumerator-pattern-grounding-aaron-ani-2026-05-18.md)**: Integrate's role per B-0665 is EXPANDED beyond wave-composer (this row's scope) to also include the commit-locus (the choice-point where Limit-simulation becomes Integrate-commitment). Wave-particle duality + only-Limit-collapses preserved; Integrate's responsibility broadened. Per B-0665's 4→3 primitive collapse (Observe + Emit + Limit + Integrate-as-separate), this row's substrate composes cleanly with the sharpened architecture.

## Why
