We study several aspects of a two-color delta model of interacting quarks, with the purpose of extracting information of relevance to real quark models of nuclei. We first describe a BCS treatment of the quark pair correlations that arise in the model at low densities and demonstrate that the rms radius of the dominant correlated pairs increases in the presence of the medium. We then consider the application of a Dyson boson mapping to the model and show that it incorporates, at the level of the Hartree-Bose approximation, the pair clustering dynamics of quark BCS. However, the collective bosons that emerge do not have the same structure as the correlated BCS pairs. The mapping also leads to a short-range repulsive interaction between the collective bosons, which we derive in both momentum and coordinate space. The additional correlations that result from this repulsive boson interaction can in principle be incorporated through a Brueckner treatment of the mapped boson Hamiltonian.
