Abstract
Approximate |∆I| = 1/2 rule in K → ππ decays is studied from a new dynamical perspective in which quark-line diagrams should only be associated with asymptotic single-hadron matrix elements of , and not with the whole amplitude. The asymptotic matrix elements of taken between ordinary mesons are found to satisfy the strict |∆I| = 1/2 rule. However, the contribution of the four-quark (QQ) type mesons leads explicitly to a small violation of the selection rule.
