Abstract
A complete analysis is given of the implications of the empirical indications for a positive strangeness magnetic moment of the proton on the possible configurations of the component of the proton. A positive value for is obtained in the configuration where the subsystem is in an orbitally excited state with flavor-spin symmetry, which is likely to have the lowest energy. The configurations in which the is orbitally excited, which include the conventional configuration, with the exception of that in which the component has spin 2, yield negative values for . The hidden strangeness analogues of recently proposed quark cluster models for the pentaquark give differing signs for .
