I refer to it as a particle because of the Gauss connection.

photons are and always have ben particles!

Umm, no, photons are "particle like" and at the same time "wave like".

Maybe but waves are an adjective where as particle is a noun. Yes a
cluster or a swarm
may move together that has the appearance of waves which also can be
seen as a swarm of particles but again root of discussion must be a
noun. An accelerated beam is that of a single particle action that is
repeated. The particle alone cannot act as a wave unless it has
another particle that can be seen as a datum.

go read up on single photon diffraction experiments and see if you still
think it takes multiple photons to act as a wave.

An ocean "wave" is an adjective?
