Abstract:

Left-right symmetric massless quarks and leptons with the Pati-Salam index composed of fermionic and bosonic preons of N-plet of SU(N)_subcolor are discussed. For N_c=N/4 generations originated successively from preon pairs, “allowed” transitions within the same generation are ∼1/√N, while those between generations are at most ∼1/N for N→∞.
