Description

An idea of algebraically composite leptons and quarks is described. The phenomenon of their three generations is explained on the basis of the interplay of the theory of relativity and the Pauli exclusion principle, both extended to the proposed spin-1/2 algebraic partons. Then, a phenomenological model of the mass matrix, common for leptons and quarks, is algebraically constructed. Of 16 masses and independent mixing parameters it predicts 10, taking 6 from experiment as the input. The results are reasonable; in particular, one obtains mτ=1783.47 MeV and all elements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix within experimental limits, if experimental me, mμ, and |Vus| are used as the only input (in this case)
