Abstract

The C2n\mathbb{C}^{\wedge 2\mathfrak{n}} models are analogue models which generate Lagrangians for quasiparticles on R1,3\mathbb{R}^{1,3} from antisymmetric vector products on Grassmann manifolds. This paper introduces C18\mathbb{C}^{\wedge 18}, the smallest member of this series which is capable of hosting a quasiparticle spectrum analogous to the Standard Model. Once all gaugeable degrees of freedom have been fixed, the particle spectrum of C18\mathbb{C}^{\wedge 18} is seen to resemble the Standard Model plus two additional weakly interacting bosons and a ninth gluon.
