Abstract
The idea that fermions acquire their masses via a universal seesaw mechanism can provide a plausible explanation for the mass hier- archy ,u,d≃ . A minimal SU(3⊗SU(2 ⊗SU(2⊗U(1 grand unifiable realization is presented. Whereas the fermionic representation is enlarged to include SU(2⊗SU(2 singlets, the Higgs system contains none of the conventional scalars of left-right-symmetric models. An alternative way to account for the superlightness of neutrinos emerges.
