  A few-body proton image, expected to be derivable from QCD in the
renormalization group procedure for effective particles, is used within the
Monte Carlo Glauber model to calculate the anisotropy coefficients in the
initial collision-state of matter in high-energy high-multiplicity
proton-proton interaction events. We estimate the ridge-like correlations in
the final hadronic state by assuming their proportionality to the initial
collision-state anisotropy. In our estimates, some distinct few-body proton
structures appear capable of accounting for the magnitude of p-p ridge effect,
with potentially discernible differences in dependence on multiplicity.
