Abstract. An original method for constructing parton final states emphasising the multi-element antenna pattern and colour connectedness between partons is presented. The approach should allow event-by-event reconstruction of parton final states from detector registered particles while avoiding the ad hoc effects of a jet algorithm. This strategy connecting soft hadrons to a set of partons rather than jets is demonstrated for $q\bar{q}g$ -events and is applicable to W pair, top quark, Higgs, etc., production.
