In the chiral SU(15) gauge theory presented here, the quarks and leptons are bound states ("prebaryons") of massless preons. The Standard Model charges of the preons imply 3 generations of quarks and leptons, plus some vectorlike fermions lighter than the confining scale Λ\rm pre. Under certain assumptions about the chiral dynamics, bound states of two prebaryons behave as Higgs fields. The QCD and electroweak groups may unify above Λ\rm pre, while SU(15) prevents rapid proton decay.
