abstract = {We unify two widely different approaches to understanding the infrared behaviour of quantum
chromodynamics (QCD), one essentially phenomenological, based on data, and the other computa-
tional, realised via quantum field equations in the continuum theory. Using the latter, we explain
and calculate a process-independent running-coupling for QCD, a new type of effective charge that
is an analogue of the Gell-Mann–Low effective coupling in quantum electrodynamics. The result is
almost identical to the process-dependent effective charge defined via the Bjorken sum rule, which
provides one of the most basic constraints on our knowledge of nucleon spin structure. This re-
veals the Bjorken sum to be a near direct means by which to gain empirical insight into QCD’s
Gell-Mann–Low effective charge.},
