The Winding of the Gluon Field
Using the same smoothing algorithm, the winding of the gluons can be revealed.
Just as water can swirl down a drain in clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, gluons can wind in positive (red to yellow shading) or negative (blue to green shading) directions.
Opposite windings next to each other can wipe each other out (annihilate). Watch the upper left corner!
