I will l ightly introduce it and would like to discuss if we could expand it to a f ield which excitations (e.g. topological) agree with the entire particle p hysics\, could be effectively described by something close to the Standard Model. \n\nKind of superfuid biaxial nematic: 3 distinguishable axes in e very point (using tensor field instead of molecules) seems quite promising here. They can form hedgehog configuration with one of 3 axes\, getting 3 leptons (as spatial dimensions)\, trying to align the second axis for it we cannot do it due to the hairy ball theorem (no naked charges – lepton s need magnetic dipoles)\, then baryon-like configurations enforcing some positive charge: needed to be compensated in neutron (hence it is heavier than proton)\, charge is shared in deuteron for binding (leading to observ ed electric quadrupole moment).\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/QMFNoT/6/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
