You skipped a few of my grades here.
This is basically how I understand deconfinement to end up working:

If I’m wrong here, then let me know, but you still haven’t really told me how deconfined quarks can exist… I guess maybe if there’s just only enough energy around to make one quark happen, or maybe two, very close to the event horizon of a black hole you might get single quarks, but I still don’t really know what’d happen if a single quark existed deconfined.
