Abstract
We discover the unique, simple Lie Algebra of the Third Kind, or LATKe, that stems from codimension 6 orbifold singularities and gives rise to a new kind of YangMills theory which simultaneously is pure and contains matter. The root space of the LATKe is 1-dimensional and its Dynkin diagram consists of one point. The uniqueness of the LATKe is a vacuum selection mechanism.
