Higgs sector of the Standard model (SM) is replaced by quantum flavor dynamics (QFD), the gauged flavor $SU(3)_f$ symmetry with scale $Λ$. Anomaly freedom requires addition of three $ν_R$. The approximate QFD Schwinger-Dyson equation for the Euclidean infrared fermion self-energies $Σ_f(p^2)$ has the spontaneous-chiral-symmetry-breaking solutions ideal for seesaw: (1) $Σ_f(p^2)=M_{fR}^2/p$ where three Majorana masses $M_{fR}$ of $ν_{fR}$ are of order $Λ$. (2) $Σ_f(p^2)=m_f^2/p$ where three Dirac masses $m_f=m_{(0)}1+m_{(3)}λ_3+m_{(8)}λ_8$ of SM fermions are {\it exponentially suppressed w.r.t. $Λ$}, and {\it degenerate for all SM fermions in $f$}. (1) $M_{fR}$ break $SU(3)_f$ symmetry completely; $m_{(3)},m_{(8)}$ superimpose the tiny breaking to $U(1) \times U(1)$. All flavor gluons thus acquire self-consistently the masses $\sim Λ$. (2) All $m_f$ break the electroweak $SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$ to $U(1)_{em}$. Symmetry partners of the composite Nambu-Goldstone bosons are the genuine Higgs particles: (1) Three $ν_{R}$-composed Higgses $χ_i$ with masses $\sim Λ$. (2) Two new SM-fermion-composed Higgses $h_3, h_8$ with masses $\sim m_{(3)}, m_{(8)}$, respectively. (3) The SM-like SM-fermion-composed Higgs $h$ with mass $\sim m_{(0)}$, the effective Fermi scale. $Σ_f(p^2)$-dependent vertices in the electroweak Ward-Takahashi identities imply: The axial-vector ones give rise to the $W$ and $Z$ masses at Fermi scale. The polar-vector ones give rise to the fermion mass splitting in $f$. At the present exploratory stage the splitting comes out unrealistic.
