Abstract
It has been recently shown that the requirement of anomaly cancellation in a (non-supersymmetric) six-dimensional version of the standard model fixes the field content to the known three generations. We discuss the phenomenol ogical consequences of the cancellation of the local anomalies: the strong CP problem is solved and the scale of the theory is bounded by the physics of the axion. Neutrinos acquire a mass in the range suggested by atmospheri c experiments.
