Abstract

In this article, we bypass the detailed symmetry breaking pathways established in [1]. Instead, a direct route from the Spin(10) model to the Standard Model is enabled via a single algebraic constraint. This single constraint, however, may be reconfigured as a requirement that three so(10)\mathfrak{so}(10) actions coincide on a fixed space of multi-vector fermions. This so(10)su(3)Csu(2)Lu(1)Y\mathfrak{so}(10) \mapsto \mathfrak{su}(3)_{C} \oplus \mathfrak{su}(2)_{L} \oplus{u}(1)_{Y} breaking (from a three-way intersection) mirrors, in certain ways, the so(8)g2\mathfrak{so}(8) \mapsto \mathfrak{g}_2 breaking (from a three-way intersection) in the context of octonionic triality. By extending this result to include quaternions and complex numbers, we find that a five-way intersection breaks so(10)su(3)Cu(1)Q\mathfrak{so}(10) \mapsto \mathfrak{su}(3)_{C} \oplus \mathfrak{u}(1)_{Q}. These are the Standard Model's unbroken gauge symmetries, post-Higgs-mechanism.
