Starting with a Dirac operator on a configuration space of $SU(2)$ gauge connections we consider its fluctuations with inner automorphisms. We show that a certain type of twisted inner fluctuations leads to a Dirac operator whose square gives the Hamiltonian of Yang-Mills quantum field theory coupled to a fermionic sector that consist of one-form fermions. We then show that if a metric exists on the underlying three-dimensional manifold then there exists a change of basis of the configuration space for which the transformed fermionic sector consists of fermions that are no-longer one-forms.
