You say that each particle has one and only one complement. To some extent this is circular logic.
By definition - an item will only have one opposite. If therefore, we later find that X has only one opposite, we cannot claim that this is evidence of dualism.
In the case of higher order groups. My recallection of particule physics is one of many larger groupings. For example, I seem to recall that there are
6 lepton types
6 neutrino types
6 quark types, or "flavours" (each with 3 colours etc..)
n gluon types (I don't recall... 9 I think though)
(... and there's a lot of stuff about higher order symmetry groups that I
never quite figured out to be honest, lazy student that I am)
I maintain that the significance of the number two, is that it is the largest value greater than 1. ie, that 2, opposites, and IS/NOTIS are just the simplest/cleanest form of classification that we have.
... or to put it another way... after you make your first cut to a cake/pizza, it goes from having one piece to having two pieces...
I can't see any significance above that, but I agree that this is significant of itself.
