abstract = {We show that most features of the mass and mixing
pattern of the second and third SM fermion families can
be accounted for without making use of flavour
symmetries or other types of flavour dynamics. We
discuss the implications for flavour phenomenology, in
particular for the
\$\backslash{}tau\backslash{}to\backslash{}mu\backslash{}gamma\$
decay rate, and comment on LFV effects at colliders. We
show that the model can be embedded in a full SO(10)
supersymmetric GUT in 5 dimensions that preserves the
successful MSSM gauge coupling unification prediction
for \$\backslash{}alpha\_s\$. Interesting features of
this embedding are i) the connection of one of the
hierarchy parameters with the strong coupling
assumption, ii) the absence of KK threshold effects on
the \$\backslash{}alpha\_s\$ prediction at one loop,
and iii) the shift of the GUT scale up to about
\$10^\{17\}\backslash{}GeV\$. Proton decay is under
control, also due to the larger GUT scale. A large
atmospheric angle for normal hierarchical neutrinos is
obtained in an unusual way. },
