Abstract
It is argued that nature exhibits a very specific kind of weak-interaction mixing among quarks, and that accordingly a specific description of this mixing is warranted. We propose and discuss a parametrization of the weak-interaction mixing among the three quark flavors, which in several respects is more appropriate in describing the observed mixing pattern than the standard form. Furthermore, CP violation can be described in a simple way, and the notion of maximal CP violation finds a simple geometrical interpretation.
