The planned EIC will provide three-dimensional precision snapshots of
the quark gluon structure of protons and nuclei. While twist-2
Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) allow for a determination of
partons in the transverse plane, twist-3 GPDs contain quark-gluon
correlations that provide information about the transverse color Lorentz
force acting on quarks in a DIS experiments. The example the nonforward
generalization of the polarized PDF $g_T(x)$ is used to illustrate how
twist-3 GPDs can provide transverse position information about that force.
