We can say today that is the excelent first approximation to
the theoretical model of the strong, electromagnetic and
weak interactions. That comes from

Essentially, is a Yang Mills field theory, that is to say, a theory based on a generalization of the gauge invariance of electromagnetism mounted on the theory of Lie groups. Then, this way implies a principle of ``geometric" invariance (local phase transformations) and this principle can determine the form of the interaction.
The trascendental thing is that with symmetry as a support of the origin of the interactions a consistent theory is born. A theory which is aesthetically worthy and at the same time provides a deeper understanding of reality.
