Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) describes the strong interaction as an SU(3) gaugetheory with point-like fermions (quarks) and gluons in a continuous Minkowski spacetime.The Panvitalistic Theory instead postulates volume as ontologically primary, time as angularmeasure (π ≡ 1 s/m), mass as L4/T3 and velocity as L2/T. This leads to a 6D=6D worldformula (VA = x VB) and 12-dimensional measurement access. The comparison shows thatQCD relies on a continuum that is an artefact in the Panvitalistic ontology. The stronginteraction emerges as angular coupling of three oscillation planes (colour charge as phaseshift). Connement, mass gap and colour neutrality can be explained geometrically withoutnon-perturbative assumptions or extra parameters.
