I don't really agree with your analogy there. I am well aware of the wave-particle duality but it seems you are using the concept to poetically describe your concept of labels. I see what you're saying but I don't really think its actually representative of what 'labels' are. It is an interesting analogy though that is certain valid as an analogy, but it is only that. It works for that function and I do see what you're trying to express.
The labels do not define, imo, people have to define labels and then those definitions through labels are applied by the person. All the defining is still done by the individual. For example, many words mean different things to different people so one word label doesnt necessarily mean the same thing to one person as another. Such in the case with my fiance's younger sister apparently it was popular to use the word "trash" to describe what is cool. So call in yourself or someone else trash would be a compliment. Thus, I don't think 'labels' are nearly as concrete as they are made out to be even if some people treat them that way.
Don't get me wrong, I am all for freedom of identity and from misunderstanding through misnomer and I empower you to discover that through whatever conceptualization works for you. I am just always eager to point out that whatever is true for one, the opposite is probably true for another. Not intending to challenge your way of thinking or anything. I personally see myself as "silence", without words, so I do understand what you are trying to get at. I am just trying to clarify my own perspective.
