The requirements imposed by relativistic covariance on the physicaldescription of two interacting classical charged particles are investigated.Because rotational pseudo-forces cannot be caused by Thomas precession,kinematical considerations demand the presence of compensatory forces whenThomas precession of an inertial reference frame is observed. The magneticforce on a moving charge is apparently one such force, where Thomas precessionof the laboratory frame is seen by an observer co-moving with the charge. Otherforces corresponding to the Euler and centrifugal rotational pseudo-forces arealso predicted by this line of reasoning. The plausibility that ananti-centrifugal force of the Thomas precession may account for the binding ofquarks into nucleons is investigated. The similarity of the magnetic force on arelativistically-moving charge in the radiative magnetic field of a nearbyCoulomb-accelerating charge to the predicted anti-centrifugal force of theThomas precession is shown.
