We explore the ΔI=1/2 rule and ε/ε in Kππ transitions using a Dyson-Schwinger equation model. Exploiting the feature that quantum chromodynamics penguin operators direct KS0 transitions through 0++ intermediate states, we observe an enhancement of KππI=0 transitions from the contribution of a putative light σ-meson. This mechanism also affects ε/ε.
