Here's something to think about.

Let us consider that there is a fundamental particle called the
chromotron, which comes in 3 varieties.

A positive chromotron has a strong charge of +1, +2, or +3, and an
electric charge of -1.
A neutral chromotron has a strong charge of 0 and an electric charge of
0.
A negative chromotron has a strong charge of -1, -2, or -3, and an
electric charge of +1.

The neutral chromotron is the neutrino.

A down quark consists of a positive chromotron and 2 neutrinos, and has
an electric charge of -1. The strong charge of a down quark is:
1=1, 2=2, or 3=3

An up quark is a combination of 2 negative chromotrons and 1 neutrino,
and has an electric charge of +2. The strong charge of an up quark is:
-1 + -2 + 6 = 3, -1 + -3 + 6 = 2, or -2 + -3 + 6 = 1

An electron is a combination of 3 positive chromotrons. The strong
charge of an electron is:
1 + 2 + 3 = 6

In this system,

A proton consists of 4 negative chromotrons, 4 neutrinos and 1 positive
chromotron.
A neutron consists of 2 negative chromotrons, 5 neutrinos and 2
positive chromotrons.
A hydrogen atom consists of 4 negative chromotrons, 4 neutrinos and 4
positive chromotrons.

Could such a fundamental particle exist in this way?
Can you add the strong charge together in the way I did?
Could a neutrino bond with a chromotron?
Can particles pulsate?
Could you improve this system?

Small problem. Electrons do not participate in the strong interaction
and therefore their strong charge must be zero.

Why should the electron participate in the strong interaction?

The 3 chromotrons of the electron would already be forming a neutral
colour state, just like the proton, but in the case of the electron
there would be 3 chromotrons, while the proton would have 9 chromotrons.

Being in a color *singlet* state (like mesons and hadrons are) does not
mean that protons do not participate in the strong interaction. On the
contrary, they certainly do. That's why the nucleus is the size that it
is.

On the other hand, electrons do not participate in the strong
interaction. Nothing in your model explains why protons do and
electrons do not.

An electron is a colour neutral triplet.
A proton is a colour neutral triplet and a colour neutral doublet.
A neutron is 2 colour neutral doublets.

Since we know neutrons are unstable, colour neutral doublets would be
less stable than colour neutral triplets.

Colour neutral doublets are unstable due to the fact that they consist
of matter-antimatter pairs and undergo annihilation.

Colour neutral triplets are likely to be stable, since they are
composed entirely of either matter or anti-matter.

When nucleons bond, the chromotrons reorganise into sets of colour
neutral doublets and triplets, for example,

In a deuteron, the chromotrons of the proton and neutron would be
reorganised to form 3 colour neutral triplets.

Since the chromotrons in an electron are already in a colour neutral
triplet, they do not participate in this reorganisation.

Therefore, under this model, the strong interaction is the
reorganisation of chromotrons into a more stable formation.

You are using the word singlet or doublet or triplet differently than
physicists do, and you need to define your terms. A doublet in the
usual formulation does not mean a pair of bound objects.

I am using the term doublet to refer to a pair of chromotrons, while
the word triplet refers to a trio of chromotrons.

Then you misunderstood my earlier post. Protons (as well as all known
hadrons) are color singlet states, in the quantum mechanical sense of
the word. They are made of quarks (color triplets) and gluons (color
octet states) regardless. Suggest you look up those terms in a QM text
before we resume discussion.

Remember that i'm talking about a hypothetical particle that both
leptons and quarks are made from.

A chromotron is a colour singlet.
A down quark consists of a chromotron and 2 neutrinos, and is a colour
singlet.
An up quark consists of 2 chromotrons and a neutrino, and is a colour
singlet.
An electron consists of 3 chromotrons, and is a colour triplet.
A proton consists of 5 chromotrons and 4 neutrinos, and is a colour
triplet formed from 3 colour singlets.

I agree that hadrons are color singlet states, and I am suggesting that
leptons are as well.

Only particles consisting of a colour triplet are stable

A model that imagines that leptons and quarks are made of smaller
particles (prions sometimes called) is not a new model, nor is a
leptoquark model which allows (and in fact predicts) lepton-quark
transitions.

You still don't know what a color singlet is.

If an electron were a color triplet, then it would interact via the
strong interaction. Color is the "charge" for QCD. There is absolutely
no experimental evidence that electrons participate in the strong
interaction, and in fact there is rather stringent experimental
evidence that it does not.

Thanks for letting me know about preons, I will check out them out.

Didn't we establish that I was using the term colour singlet to refer
to a particle with a single colour charge?

The 3 chromotrons(rgb) that compose the electron interact strongly with
each other within the electron.

A proton is composed of 4 anti-chromotrons and a chromotron, and since
an up quark is composed of 2 anti-chromotrons, and 2 anti-colour
charges make 1 colour charge, then the proton can be said to be
composed of a triplet, when it would really be composed of a triplet
and a doublet.

A neutron would consist of 2 doublets.

It is these doublets which would be resposible for the strong
interaction between nucleons, and since the electron has only a
triplet, it does not strongly interact with other particles.

That's *your* definition of singlet, fine. That's not the usual
definition of singlet, doublet, triplet, in quantum mechanics.

Here's the part you're missing. Protons consist of strongly interacting
quarks and gluons which have color charge. Even though protons
themselves are color-neutral, they exhibit strong interactions with
other protons and with neutrons because some of this strong interaction
"leaks out" of the proton (or neutron). More fundamentally, in
high-energy proton-proton interactions, we see evidence for more direct
interaction between the quarks and gluons of one proton with the quarks
and gluons of the other proton.

The same thing is true for the electromagnetic interaction. Protons and
electrons both have electromagnetic charge and it's the electromagnetic
interaction that binds them together as an atom. But even though the
atom is electrically neutral, some of this electromagnetic interaction
"leaks out" of the atom to form molecular interactions which are
fundamentally electromagnetic.

Thus, if an electron had any components that were strongly interacting
(having color charge), then we would be able to see evidence of strong
interaction of electrons at some energy scale. There is no such
evidence. At all. It is *extremely* unlikely that the electron or any
component of an electron exhibits color charge in any form.
