Ps2 is more asymmetric than its threshold: it is stable<br />

Both T-type and M-type of tetra<strong>quark</strong>s are less symmetric than<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir threshold, <strong>the</strong>y are unstable<br />

Hence tetra<strong>quark</strong> with equal masses is penalised by <strong>the</strong><br />

non-Abelian character of <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>ory<br />
