Penrose (2004: 511):
But the whole point of the two-slit experiment — so I was supposed to have been insisting — is that the experiment shows up a conflict between the wave picture and a particle picture. Indeed so; the most obvious manifestation of particle nature, in this experiment, occurs when these little fellows make their tiny marks on the screen: one at a time . . . !

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic Theory, there is no conflict between the wave picture and the particle picture, if the wave is understood as a picture of potential, and the particle is understood as a picture of an actual instance of that potential.
