We unite these two approaches by demonstrating that the renormalisation-group-invariant running-interaction predicted by contemporary analyses of QCD's gauge sector coincides with that required in order to describe ground-state hadron observables using a nonperturbative truncation of QCD's Dyson-Schwinger equations in the matter sector. This bridges a gap that had lain between nonperturbative continuum-QCD and the ab initioprediction of bound-state properties. %K Dyson-Schwinger equations %K Confinement %K Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking %K Fragmentation %K Gribov copies %R 10.1016/j.physletb.2015.01.031 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.4782 %U https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2015.01.031 %P 183-188
