Abstract

In the current version of QCD the quarks are described by ordinary Dirac fields, organized in the following internal symmetry multiplets: the SU(3)SU(3) colour, the SU(2)SU(2) flavour, and broken SU(3)SU(3) providing the family triplets. \noindent In this paper we argue that internal and external (i.e. space-time) symmetries are entangled at least in the colour sector in order to introduce the spinorial quark fields in a way providing all the internal quark's degrees of freedom which do appear in the Standard Model. Because the SU(3)SU(3) colour algebra is endowed with natural Z3Z_3-graded discrete automorphisms, in order to introduce entanglement the Z3Z_3-graded version of Lorentz and Poincar\'e algebras with their realizations are considered. The colour multiplets of quarks are described by 1212-component colour Dirac equations, with a Z3Z_3-graded triplet of masses (one real and a Lee-Wick complex conjugate pair). We argue that all quarks in the Standard Model can be described by the 7272-component master quark sextet of 1212-component coloured Dirac fields.
