Idea

In nuclear physics (quantum chromodynamics) the bag model is an ad hoc effective model of quark confinement in hadrons, assuming literally that the quarks are constrained within an impenetrable membrane, the “bag”.

The Cheshire cat principle is the observation that this “bag” is not actually observable.

The Cheshire Cat Principle follows in holographic QCD, where the baryons are holographically realized as Skyrmions:

The Skyrmion is the ultimate topological bag model with zero size bag radius, lending further credence to the Cheshire cat principle. (Nielsen-Zahed 09)

effective field theories of nuclear physics, hence for confined-phase quantum chromodynamics:
