Description
The individual fermion generations of the Standard Model fit neatly into a representation of a simple Grand Unified Theory gauge algebra. If there is nothing to Grand Unification, this would be appear to be a coincidence. We attempt to quantify how frequent this coincidence is among theories with group structure and fermion content similar to the Standard Model. This bottom-up theory-space investigation may contribute to shaping our expectations for what lies beyond the Standard Model.
