More gluon clues

This property of the strong force is called color confinement, and it prevents the free "emission" of strong force: instead, in practice, jets of massive particles are observed.

Simply, the gluons wipe out three mass slots and the quarks takes the 2/3 charge phase imbalance.  That make the bandwidth (three wave numbers) very high for a gluons and when they make travelling wave, they make a sharply pointed ellipsoid. They mix with nearly  two quants worth of free nulls, which physicists call relativistic mass, but which I call middle sized bubbles.

Color confinement

Multiply and two gluons which adds their wave numbers and you must get less than 91. By the time you get low enough to multiply, you are already in electron orbitals. Thus whenever you do multiply gluons, you have multiply by one of their small multiples, they call this color, I call it the number 7.  I have enough Boson possibilities to generate at least seven gluons. But, they only appear in  groups of three. So I dunno why they count eight gluons types.

Mass

They can't measure the mass because the nulls not packed and show no momentum.
I have mentioned the idea of gluon traveling waves, but now that I think about it, their bandwidth, in  motion might exceed  the capability of the vacuum. The top wave number, 7 * 13, can only exist if it carries free nulls equal to 13 orders down.

Here is another way to think about it.  The wave number for the proton has to count out its error, not more, and that is 19 bits at the speed of light. That would be the limit of quantized wave motion in the thing. However, if all gluons have to agree on the quantum number for the radius, color confinement,  that number has to be a multiple of three digits, and the top wave does not have that. And I doubt any other combination will do better.

In other words, the current model assume each gluon has a power series for their version of radius, independently.
Hmm....
