Rest mass should be  considered the fundamental mass. But binding
energy confuses this.
A proton or neutron outside the nucleus has more mass than inside. A
bound proton or neutron has less mass. So which mass is to be
considered fundamental? the mass inside or outside?
The mass of a bound nucleon or a free one?
