Abstract: (Elsevier)
A theory of composite quarks and leptons as composites of three spin - 1 2 preons is proposed. It is argued that the persistent mass condition is a natural requirement in such models. A specific realistic model in constructed that predicts up to 8 SO(10) families in the spinor representation, for which masses are generated by explicit small breaking of the underlying chiral symmetries. The small masses of the families are explained as being due only to SU(3) C ⊗SU(2) W ⊗U(1) W symmetry.
