If you're referring to wave-particle duality, that just states that, under the right conditions, matter can act like a wave, and vice-versa. If you're referring to quantum field theory, that hasn't been proven (within reason), so it's pointless to speculate, as I could just as easily grab a contradicting theory.

Zenoseiya wrote: Not being made of matter is an academic distinction. It simply means that sonorosians have no mass and take up no space. As such, they can simply pass through matter like any other sound wave. This doesn't mean sonorosians can't contain information. Photons have no mass or volume, but each contains a quanta of information and we use photons to transfer digital information.

Wrong. Sound doesn't "pass through" matter. Sound is matter vibrating. There's a difference. Whereas photons are electromagnetic energy in motion (although that "in motion" distinction is kinda irrelevant, IMO, since it can't actually stay still) and can exist without a physical medium, like particles, sound cannot. Sound cannot exist without matter, but matter can exist without sound. Likewise, photons (which, again, are nothing short of pure electromagnetic energy) can exist without matter and sound, but sound cannot exist without (virtual) photons.
