... Why does Nature choose an integer ZI2 at the pre on level? It seems almost impossible to answer this quention, if we stop at the preon model. These facts show the incompleteness of the pre on level physics. We attempt to solve these problems by stepping into a subpreon level and making fundamental m ...
