A quantum field carrying matter quantum numbers rather than serving as the gauge connection itself; its gauge representation may be fundamental, adjoint, or another representation depending on the theory.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Matter fields are quantum fields representing material degrees of freedom rather than gauge connections. They often carry nontrivial gauge representations, but gauge-singlet matter fields are possible.
The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.
