%X Quantum gravity is an attempt to resolve incompatibilities between general relativity and quantum theory. <i>Primordial</i> <i>field</i> <i>theory</i> incorporates gravity and electrodynamics and has derived fermion mass gap, half integral spin, and fractional charges. This paper extends PFT to hadron physics with a &#8220;solenoidal flux&#8221;-based explanation of quark confinement differing significantly from Lattice QCD &#8220;color flux&#8221;-based construction. The theory is presented qualitatively and used to predict hadronic and nuclear properties. Electrodynamic-based analogies help yield numerical results far more intuitively than corresponding QCD results. The origins of QCD and PFT are discussed. A more quantitative description of hadron dynamics is in progress.
