Abstract
In a model in which quarks and leptons are built up from two spin- preons as fundamental entities, a new class of fermionic bound states (hyperquarks) arises. It turns out that these hyperquarks are necessary to fulfill the ’t Hooft anomaly constraint, which then links the number of fermionic generations to the number of colors and hypercolors.

- The hyperquark states are referred to as hyperlepton states in Ref. [3]. Because of their fractional charge these states are more appropriately called hyperquarks. The states which Harari and Seiberg [3] call hyperquark states have the same quantum numbers as the fundamental preons, in particular, they carry both color and hypercolor and thus are not in the class of allowed bound states (see sect. III).
