Gravity from Electrons

This is a strange series of thoughts and thought experiments. There is no conclusion here and even less expertise, but I thought I'd make a note of it.

Imagine space is a fluid lake of dark water. Mass pushes down upon the surface of the lake, causing a ripple to move at the speed of light outwards, distorting its surface. This wave is gravity. Perhaps space only needs connection to its neighbouring cells to gain this information, and not know the location of the mass. This could enable gravitic information to be present without the need for a particle, although each segment of space would need to store its level of depression, its gravitational depth.

Particles with mass emit gravity. As electrons have a tiny mass, even these emit gravity and distort space. As electrons bound to an atom exist in uncertain quantum states, I wondered how this uncertainly distorted the space, and on a wider level, how does a particle in wave form emit gravity? What shape is its field?

I thought that a logical conclusion is that the field is smeared over a long path, the path of the wave, or perhaps the gravity doesn't exist until the wave becomes a particle of fixed location. The latter seems more in keeping with quantum mechanics, but in that case, what is happening to the space beyond the confines of the wave when the wave is not yet resolved into a particle. The detection of this 'smeared' gravity itself could become a marker for the existence of the wave-particle, or the location of the particle, and 'collapse' the wave by its influence on other particles.

Perhaps waves have no gravity and their oscillations stop, this manifesting as gravity when they stop undulating. Perhaps gravity and mass are different views of the same thing; gravity exists when mass does not and mass exists when gravity does not... perhaps this is a new quantum duality, and wave-like particles have zero gravity but store mass and vice versa. Mass is the gravity when localised and discrete, when non localised we see only its wavelike effects.
