One major effect I observed in experiments is that, it is not an observer being present or observing an event that matters, but observability of an particle. That is if a moving particle is not observable it will result in a wave.
Therefore the Heisenberg Principal need to be extended, by adding that non-observable character also must be present for a particle in addition to having a velocity for the particle to act as a wave.
The other side of the coin will be, when observabilty is present in a wave, it fails to act as a wave and will be acting like a particle.
Whenever this factor of observability is erased, like in the quantum eraser, it starts to act again like a wave.
A particle is a bundle of matter. It is capable of controlling the distribution of matter within itself. This is the basic factor that differs a particle from a wave. A wave is free, there is no restriction of it's distribution. The only factor that controls a wave is it will move forward at the velocity of the wave. In contrast a particle moves as a compact bundle of energy. The particle has a controlled movement, it is different from a wave which has a more free movement. The path of a particle is more predictable than that of a wave. This predictability gives the quality of the particle in contrast to a wave. However, this predictability can be reduced by a moving particle, Heisenberg Principal, then it starts to show wave like properties.
Another Idea:
It may be the reason for particle wave duality is not because of some real world phenomena but because of our powers of observation. It is because how our brain works. All observation is designed by human brain so observation is dependent on human brain.
This can be thought as how a cat sees the world which is very different of humans. We assume that our observational powers are supreme and we see all that happens. What if not?
