Dipa, I'm not sure that gluons are hypothetical not i.e. there is even talk of combinatioins of gluons called 'gluballs' and all appear to be part of the Standard Model. Convetion model accepted by conventional physicists.
Bosonic forces accepted;
#1 EMagnetic( photons )
#2 Weak( W+,W- and Zo )
#3 Mesons( kaons pions etc... ) Strong nuclear
#4 Gluons( storng sub-nuclear )
Bosonic forces hypothetical;
#5 Higgs( gives mass to particles )
#6 graviton( mass-attractive pulling-in )
If all six are become accepted then perhaps we could have a double threeness until then the only the only three-ness, in Standard Model, is the;
36 kinds of quarks( ergo 12 * 3 = 36 )
12 kinds of electron( 4 * 3 = 12 )
12 kinds of neutrino( 4 * 3 = 12 )
