  In this paper we study the dominant microscopic processes that generate
nearly the whole one-electron removal and addition spectral weight of the
one-dimensional Hubbard model for all values of the on-site repulsion $U$. We
find that for the doped Mott-Hubbard insulator there is a competition between
the microscopic processes that generate the one-electron upper-Hubbard band
spectral-weight distributions of the Mott-Hubbard insulating phase and
finite-doping-concentration metallic phase, respectively. The spectral-weight
distributions generated by the non-perturbative processes studied here are
shown elsewhere to agree quantitatively for the whole momentum and energy
bandwidth with the peak dispersions observed by angle-resolved photoelectron
spectroscopy in quasi-one-dimensional compounds.
