Stemming from Within the Nucleon, Quarks Are Thus Devoid of Self-Existence

A schematic model of nucleon genesis is propounded. It involves an interplay of centripetal and centrifugal spiral motions carrying quantized angular momenta, and driving the emergence of three intranuclear entities known as quarks. Hence, as Murray Gell-Mann advocated, quarks are not independent particles. This accounts for the absence of free quarks, and upholds the non-existence of free particles with fractional charge. Gell-Mann’s persistent intuition was remarkable.
