Description
The Standard Model (SM) has besides the basic chiral left-right (L-R) symmetry and the charge conjugation symmetry, an intriguing tri-partite structure and corresponding $Z_3$ symmetry. This is most manifest for quarks with both electroweak and color charges. We conjecture a basic underlying 1D structure for the SM as the origin of many of its features. The special status of QCD in 3D emerges because of basic entanglement properties of a tri-partite chiral qubit space. I discuss some consequences for parton structure including transverse momentum dependence and fragmentation.
