Non-Gaussian critical exponents for the confinement-deconfinement phase transition in SU(2) lattice gauge theory indicate that the associated three-dimensional field theory of Wilson lines has nontrivial interactions. A numerical approximation to the first derivative of the effective potential for the lines is used to estimate the strength of the four-line interaction. Moderate to strong coupling is found. This indicates that at the scale of the string tension, the four-quark free energy differs substantially from the contribution made by pairwise strings.
