  The light-cone Fock representation encodes the bound-state quark and gluon
properties of hadrons, including their helicity and flavor correlations, in
terms of universal process-independent and frame-independent wavefunctions. It
also provides a physical factorization scheme for separating hard and soft
contributions in both exclusive and inclusive hard processes. A new type of jet
production reaction, ''self-resolving diffractive interactions'' can provide
direct information on the light-cone wavefunctions of hadrons in terms of their
QCD degrees of freedom as well as the composition of nuclei in terms of their
nucleon and mesonic degrees of freedom.
