Estimation of the Mass Energy of the Quarks Up and Down in the Framework of the Electromagnetic Bridge Theory:Electromagnetic Origin of the Strong Force

In the framework of the electromagnetic Bridge Theory, this paper presents a theoretical model that reproduces the effects of the strong interaction through direct electromagnetic forces between quarks considered as fractional charges. By analysing the energy exchange mediated by electromagnetic quanta similar in gluon behaviour, the mass-energy of up and down quarks and their corresponding coupling constants are estimated. The model introduces the concept of the “Strong Exchange Quantum” and shows that the strong force can emerge from electromagnetic dipole interactions governed by a variable coupling constant. A systematic method for baryon assembly is also proposed, allowing the derivation of structural properties such as mass, charge, and charge radius directly from quark interactions. The theoretical results obtained are in excellent agreement with experimental values and lattice QCD simulations, suggesting that the strong interaction could be interpreted as a secondary electromagnetic effect under specific energetic conditions.
