We propose an interpretation for the adjoint representation of the SO(32) group to classify the scalars of a generic Supersymmetric Standard Model having just three generations of particles, via a flavour group SU(5). We show that this same interpretation arises from a simple postulate of self-consistence of composites for these scalars. The model looks only for colour and electric charge, and it pays the cost of an additional chiral quark per generation.
