If gravity is a wave/particle, and 'time' is a function of it's definition,
is 'time' also a wave/particle, or simply a synthetic, linear measure.

If not so, does time radiate?

I agree that the question is not well posed. However, coming as I do
from a perspective of a study of cycles, I have interpreted a possible
different meaning to what you have.

I cannot say to what extent the following facts are due to gravity,
electromagnetism or some other force, only that the evidence for
periodicity (wave-like behaviour) exists on all time and distance scales.

The largest reported periodicity in space is a 590 million light year
spacing of super galactic clusters (based on the latest Hubble constant
of 71 km/s/Mpc). This corresponds to a quite commonly reported
geological cycle period of 586 million years and shows that there is
indeed some type of wave structure in both space and time of that period.

Another example is that 160 minute periods have been observed in active
galaxy nuclei by Russian astronomers and these correspond to the
expected gravitational wave oscillations of typical galactic black hole
sizes. Such a period is also observed in the Sun as an oscillation and
as an 80 light minute spacing (10 au) between the outer planets. The
halving of the distance may be attributed to there being two nodes per
wave. A 160 minute period oscillation seems to pervade the universe as
it shows up very significantly as a peek in a number of astronomical
period measurements such as binary stars.

Physicists assure me that gravitational waves are not strong enough for
the observed effects. In that case, as something is definitely going on,
we may have to conclude that new physics is needed.

As regards the question of linear measure of time, we can only count
events and compare to other event counts. On that basis we can say that
all measures of time do have fluctuations of various amounts. The
definition of time has gradually been revised from the earth's synodic
rotation to its siderial rotation to its orbital motion along with the
other planets and moon, to the oscillations of a caesium atom, but now
we know that this is unsteady also relative to pulsars which are the
most consistent timekeepers at present (although they sometimes have
quakes that change their periods).
