Abstract
I discuss vacuum alignment and CP violation in technicolor theories of electroweak
and flavor symmetry breaking. I review the surprising appearance of rational phase
solutions in the technifermion sector and propose a new solution of the strong
CP problem of quarks. I then discuss the sources of weak CP violation, in both
the CKM matrix and the suppressed extended technicolor and topcolor–assisted
technicolor interactions. It is easy to reproduce the observed value of the neutral
kaon CP–violating parameter 𝜖 from these interactions.
