I think that you'll have a hard time getting everyone to agree that the universe consists of particles, and particles alone. I would also caution aganst a line of reasoning that states that since particles do not have a will, things made out of a particles cannot have a will. Or that if a thing made of particles has a will, that means that individual particles have a will. Both sides of that statement are uninformative..one being a fallacy of composition, the other a fallacy of division.
A particle may not be able to type this message to you. Obviously, a thing made out of particles can. That a thing made out of particles can type this message to you, does not imply that any single particle can.
