Recently, Santilli conjectured that, because the so-called theorems of inconsistent quantization into Heisenberg's equations are activated when quarks are treated as physical point-particles, hadron phenomenology may demand different yet compatible models, namely: the established SU(3) classification of hadrons into multiplets and a different Bohr-type model of structure for each individual member of a multiplet, in which the quark hypothesis for hadronic constituents is to be abandoned ad replaced by a more general (Lie-admissible) notion of particle to express the state of mutual penetration of the wave packet of each constituent with those of the others. A quark approach to a Bohr model of hadronic bound states, in which such a state of mutual penetration of the strong charge volumes of the constituent quarks, occurs, is presented, the quarks being bound in a Yukawa-type central field approximated by its long-range part, -g/sup 2//r, plus a meson mass term, in the limit g/sup 2/ = 1. A physical interpretation of the resulting hydrogenic-atom spectrum, based on an analogy with nuclear and atomic spectra is proposed and leads to a prediction of the mass ratio m/sub s//m/sub u/ of the strange to the light quarks in good agreement with the mass ratios of the members of the low-lying SU(3) multiplets.
