I'm afraid that question is above my paygrade. Matter without mass, particle waves... I don't really have an idea I could defend.
I don't think it above anyone's paygrade. "Matter is atoms, waves, particles, and stuff" is a decent enough definition. We might even include energy since E=MC^2.
I mean, we all learned what matter is in grade school. There is no need to complicate the issue by treating matter as some kind of exotic thing.
