Mechanism of left–right symmetry breaking from 14D split bioctonionic space to 6D split biquaternionic spacetime

Determine the underlying mathematical and physical mechanism by which left–right symmetry breaking in the 14-dimensional split bioctonionic pre-spacetime with signature (7,7) yields a 6-dimensional spacetime generated by complex split biquaternions with signature (3,3), and explain why the remaining eight Euclidean directions organize into two copies of 4-dimensional vector bundles associated with the unbroken gauge symmetries SU(3)_color and SU(3)_grav.

Background

The framework employs split bioctonions to define a 14-dimensional non-commutative pre-spacetime whose gradient (Dirac) operator squares to the Klein–Gordon operator in signature (7,7).

After a left–right symmetry breaking (identified with electroweak breaking in this program), the authors assert that the 14D structure reduces to a 6D (3,3) spacetime described by complex split biquaternions, while the remaining eight Euclidean directions serve as two 4D internal vector bundles associated with SU(3)_color and SU(3)_grav. The detailed reason for this reduction and assignment is not yet understood and is identified as an open issue.

References

For deep reasons which remain to be fully understood, left-right symmetry breaking sends this to the 6D spacetime generated by the complex split biquaternions whereas the remaining eight directions (Euclidean signature) serve to define two copies of 4D vector bundles associated with the unbroken gauge symmetry $SU(3){color}\times SU(3){grav}$.
