We formulate the dynamical symmetry breaking of the standard model by a top-quark condensate in analogy with BCS theory. The low-energy effective Lagrangian is the usual standard model with supplemental relationships connecting masses of the top quark, {ital W} boson, and Higgs boson which now appears as a {ital {bar t}} {ital t} bound state. Precise predictions for {ital m}{sub {ital t}} and {ital m}{sub {ital H}} are obtained by abstracting the compositeness condition for the Higgs boson to boundary conditions on the renormalization-group equations for the full standard model at high energy.
