Subject	is a kind of	has definition

A particular symmetry transformation has the effect of, in a theoretical way, transforming one elementary particle into another.
SU(5)	elementary particle symmetry	Symmetrical Unitary of Order 5: The simplest type of grand unified theory, proposed in the 1970s. (See grand unified theories.)
