A truncated determinant algorithm is used to study the physical effects of
the quark eigenmodes associated with eigenvalues below 400 MeV. This initia
l study focuses on coarse lattices (with O(a(2)) improved gauge action), li
ght internal quark masses and large physical volumes. Four bellwether full
QCD processes are discussed: topological charge distributions, the eta prim
e propagator, string breaking as observed in the static energy and the rho
decay into two pions.
