So waves are the basis of quantity? Would that point back to a more contextual basis for quantization?

I've started to wonder whether if modern physics got its first big step in a more Eastern framework, where objects are considered more contextual, than elemental, as in the Western, atomized, object oriented view, if it wouldn't be quite different than what it is today.

It seems to be axiomatic that we just need to keep peering at ever smaller scales to find some level of objects, whether atoms, quanta, or strings and we will find some basis from which everything else is emergent. Yet we seem to have bumped up against a wall. Do we keep knocking at that door, or step back and re-consider some of the premises built into our theories?
