This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Color charge couples to the gluon gauge field.
The source field, particle, charge, current, or interaction couples to, acts on, binds, forms, or stabilizes the target in the stated regime. The edge label and detail must identify the exact coupling, interaction, or binding claim and its qualifications.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Gluons are the gauge-field quanta in perturbative and asymptotic descriptions; isolated gluons are confined.
The source is a material constituent, structural component, or underlying quantum field whose excitation realizes the target physical system or particle. The edge label and detail must distinguish composition from field excitation; neither implies a simple classical sum of parts.

The gluon field self-interacts because the color gauge group is non-Abelian.
The source field, particle, charge, current, or interaction couples to, acts on, binds, forms, or stabilizes the target in the stated regime. The edge label and detail must identify the exact coupling, interaction, or binding claim and its qualifications.
