Very unnatural pattern of bound state masses;
e.g., Lagrangian (pQCD) quark mass is small but . . . no degeneracy between JP=+ and JP=− (parity partners)Neither of these phenomena is apparent in QCD’s Lagrangian Yet they are the dominant determining characteristics of real-world QCD. Both will be important herein QCD – Complex behaviour arises from apparently simple rules.

Universal Truths
Spectrum of hadrons (ground, excited and exotic states), and
hadron elastic and transition form factors provide unique information about long-range interaction between light-quarks and distribution of hadron's
characterising
properties amongst its QCD constituents.
Dynamical
Chiral Symmetry Breaking (DCSB) is most important mass generating mechanism for visible matter in the Universe. Higgs mechanism is (almost) irrelevant to light-quarks.Running of quark mass entails that calculations at even modest Q2 require a Poincaré-covariant approach. Covariance requires existence of quark orbital angular momentum in hadron's rest-frame wave function.Confinement is expressed through a violent change of the propagators for coloured particles & can almost be read from a plot of a states’ dressed-propagator. It is intimately connected with DCSB.Craig Roberts: Observing Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking. JLab 16 May 2011 - Nucleon Resonance Structure with the CLAS12 Detector - 41pgs3Slide4
