Are Dyons the Preons of the Knot Model?

TL;DR

This paper explores the idea that preons in an extended Standard Model could be identified with Schwinger dyons, proposing a model that exists in both observable electric and unobservable magnetic phases.

Contribution

It introduces a novel interpretation of preons as dyons within an SLq(2) extended Standard Model, suggesting a dual-phase existence.

Findings

Preons may be realized as Schwinger dyons in the model.

The model predicts both observable electric and unobservable magnetic phases.

Potential implications for understanding fundamental particle structure.

Abstract

We consider the possibility that the preons defined by the SLq(2) extension of the Standard Model may be identified with Schwinger dyons. The SLq(2) extension is here presented as a model that may exist in either a currently observable electric phase or in a magnetic phase that is predicted but currently unobservable.
