Description
It is proposed that a dynamical mass for a fourth family of quarks is responsible for breaking of the weak interactions, and for breaking of the extended-technicolor interactions which provide mass to the third family. This greatly simplifies the extended technicolor sector and avoids fermions with exotic quantum numbers. A technicolor sector is still required, but it is lighter than usual. The most-attractive-channel hypothesis for symmetry breakdown is relied on
