Gauging a pseudosymmetry

We consider extending the gauge group of an earlier model of Dicus, Teplitz, and Young by taking advantage of the existence of a possible pseudosymmetry. We retain the requirement of duality as was initially proposed. In addition, we propose that spin-zero exchange is the reason for the ΔI = 1/2 rule among the hadrons and the anomalous strength of the weak nonleptonic decays. The model is anomaly-free and offers some interesting ideas as to the role that spin-zero exchange might play in the weak interaction. We also find a ''superweak'' interaction where abs. value of ΔS = 2 and neutral, strangeness-changing transitions are allowed in second order, but such processes are suppressed relative to ordinary weak processes
