Piggybacking on my similarly basic understanding of wave-particle duality: it is literally both, and the mode of measurement is what causes the superposition to collapse into one state or another. In other words, you can “force” a superpositioned particle into the desired state simply by measuring it appropriately. We infer from this odd arrangement that the particle contains both states at once. Pardon any incorrectly used terminology above, but I believe my explanation is conceptually sound.
