A state in a one-particle representation or asymptotic sector associated with a stable particle species.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
A suitably smeared field acting on the vacuum can have overlap with one-particle states; the relation is theory- and stability-dependent.
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.

Stable particles correspond to one-particle asymptotic sectors or representations when they exist.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

One-particle state spaces carry unitary representations of spacetime and internal symmetry groups.
A mathematical concept supplies part of the formal language, state space, representation, or analytic machinery used by a scientific or mathematical-physics concept. The source is the mathematical predecessor; this does not claim that physical content follows from mathematics alone.
