Description
We demonstrate how a theory consisting of massless Fermi and vector-meson fields can lead to an excitation spectrum of solely massive particles. We eschew spinless Bose fields in the fundamental Lagrangian, contrary to current practice. A detailed model is presented and solved in lowest order. Fermion and axial-vector-meson masses are spontaneously generated, and the vector particle's mass is computed in terms of the fermion mass.
