Electroweak, strong, and horizontal interactions are unified in a simple group with an anomaly-free representation which does not include mirror fermions or exotic quarks. {plus minus}1 charged, and neutral exotic leptons are needed in the model, but they acquire heavy masses as a consequence of the survival hypothesis, and also mix with the known leptons producing seesaw and universal seesaw mechanisms in a natural way. Masses for fermions in the third family arise at the tree level via a BCS (flavor-democracy) mass matrix. Masses for other known quarks and leptons can be generated by radiative corrections.
