Six-quark model for the suppression ofΔS=1neutral currents

We propose an alternative arising naturally in a six-quark model to the Glashow-Iliopoulos-Maiani mechanism for the suppression of $\Delta S=1\mathrm{}$ neutral currents. While violating the Cabibbo form of universality, it maintains the ${tan}^2{\theta }_C$ suppression of strange particle decays and introduces an additional $tan{\theta }_C$ suppression of charmed-particle decays.
