  Work in progress is reported on a particularly interesting gauge theory with
a fermion doublet in the two-index symmetric (sextet) representation of the
SU(3) color gauge group. Extending previous studies we outline our strategy as
we investigate Goldstone dynamics and Electroweak scale setting from chiral
symmetry breaking ($\chi$ SB), test the GMOR relation from the spectrum of the
Dirac operator and the related chiral condensate, begin to develop and test
mixed action based improved analysis of $\chi$ SB with new run plans at fixed
topology to cross over from the p-regime to the epsilon-regime of $\chi$ SB,
continue to pursue the light $0^{++}$ scalar and its relation to the dilaton,
and probe the scale-dependent running coupling from the perturbative UV scale
to the scale of chiral symmetry breaking. Our observations suggest that the
model is very close to the conformal window and a light composite scalar,
perhaps the Higgs impostor with or without dilaton-like interpretation, appears
to emerge with $0^{++}$ quantum numbers. The lightest baryon of the model on
the 3 TeV scale has intriguing implications.
