Gluon Rhythm Chains (GRC): A Minimal Entanglement Axiom for QCD Confinement and Dynamics

The Gluon Rhythm Chains (GRC) framework proposes a minimal entanglement axiom to explain color confinement in Quantum Chromodynamics. In this model, quarks emit symmetric, color-conjugate gluon pairs that either annihilate or form rhythmic chains, analogous to chromoelectric flux tubes. This mechanism unifies asymptotic freedom and confinement under a single scaling law, offering intuitive clarity and phenomenological agreement with collider data (ATLAS, CMS, STAR, RHIC). The GRC approach reproduces collective phenomena such as QGP flow and jet angularity, bridging perturbative and non-perturbative regimes and providing a clear agenda for future lattice QCD validation.
