The net quark flavor content fixing a hadron’s additive quantum numbers, distinct from its full quark–gluon state.
wp-physics-valence_quarkpdg-quark-modelpdg-qcdEach relation below ends at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
A hadron’s valence content records its net quark-flavor quantum numbers, not the complete quark–gluon state.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The neutron has net valence flavor , embedded in a full quark–gluon state.
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.
