The many‐body properties of flux tubes are outlined and found to lead to a modified Pauli Principle for quarks in different hadrons. Incorporation of flux tube ideas into nucleon‐nucleon potential models including one pion exchange yields a repulsive core without invoking one gluon exchange and provides a reasonable description of the low energy properties of the nucleon‐nucleon system with only four parameters. The size of nucleons in A=2 and 3 nuclei are found to increase by a few percent at small nucleonic separations.
