Hadron states contain quark and antiquark field degrees of freedom, including valence and sea components.
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 neutron is a QCD bound state whose quark-field content has net valence flavor together with sea-quark and antiquark excitations.
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.
