The reason you can’t any direct or simple answers is because there really isn’t any. Quarks don’t “do” things. They’re fundamental particles. They just “are”. More so, we only really understand through theories and equations. There isn’t really a version of them that can be fully understood outside of advanced mathematics because, as quantum particles, to us, they exist almost solely within mathematics. All you really need to know is certain arrangements and combinations of Quarks make up larger particles, like protons and neutrons. Unfortunately, the foundation of our universe just isn’t all rhyme and reason.
