The discussion seems to have drifted somewhat. I do not think it is constructive to bore everyone about whether a theory is phenomological or non-phenomological.
We are not poles apart. Our differences are more philosophical than scientific.
The bottom line is that you are satisfied that you clearly understand what a particle is, and you have expressed it here. I find your definition unsatisfactory as do many others, physicists and non physicists alike, and I have expressed that here.
I am sure people will come to their own conclusions on this matter.
It was an interesting discussion nontheless.
