Hi MJA; A photon is a 2 dimensional transverse wave, it has 3 dimensional effect because the wave being transverse has the elements of LWH.
A
light wave is an example of a transverse wave. The light wave is however composite, all parts of which have transversal wave properties.

A
transverse wave is a
wave that causes vibration in the medium in a perpendicular direction to its own motion. For example: if a wave moves along the
x-axis, its disturbances are in the
yz-plane. In other words, it causes medium disturbances across the two-dimensional plane that it is travelling in. Contrary to popular belief, transversal waves do not necessarily move up and down.
The proton/neutron is a particle which can collapse into a wave see my An Idea which I believe you did but didn't think that much of it. As far as free will vs determinism, I agree I really don't know, but my premise was ASSUME we have free will. Best to you MJA, Pat P.S. If nothing else I hope I got you to thinking about the issue
