[en] The general philosophical basis for the work described has been to examine calculable quark dynamical models based on intuitive methods of including the major effects from QCD. We have not begun really large scale calculations of light nuclei based on a given model simply because we believe it is necessary to survey first what should be the important ingredients of any model. Each of the thrusts tackled this year, although at first sight appearing to be fragmentary, are actually all possible ingredients to be surveyed as interrelated components of a model to be used in larger scale calculations. In the first year of the present three year contract there have been several major thrusts: (1) the relativistic Salpeter equation has been solved for various Lorentz-Dirac types of potentials for heavy q anti q systems; (2) the two-gluon virtual annihilation mechanism as a source of the π⁰-eta-eta' mass differences has been investigated using a fully relativistic on the energy shell Feynmann graph; (3) comparison of several hadron-hadron interactions using the conventional quark (two-body potentials) dynamics up to 2 bar hω has been made; and (4) an alternative quark dynamics incorporating orthogonality constraints consistent with local color gauge invariance has been formulated. The significance of each of these achievements is outlined
