Abstract: Despite its tremendous success, the Standard Model of particle physics does not explain why the weak interaction breaks chiral symmetry. Various unified theories got us closer to an answer, but too often the explanation consists of labeling the $operatornameSU(2{)}_w$ singlet representations as right-handed, and the doublet ones as left handed. This by itself does not ensure a chiral preference, because chirality itself, arising in the Dirac spinors, is not a property of the internal gauge group representations. Something deeper than mere labeling is required. In this paper, some of the progress using exterior and Clifford algebras is reviewed, and a possible explanation for chiral asymmetry is presented. It is shown how such a solution is present, rather implicitly, in a model proposed in a previous article.
