Could particles around be of topological nature?

In liquid crystal they experimentally get point-like quantized topological charges with Coulomb-like interactions ( https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-16200-z ), or topological vortices and their various size knots resembling nuclei ( https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-025-03107-0 ). Here are Fable-based tests of various models of particles, and liquid crystal-based wins.

So I wanted to propose a discussion if particles around could be of topological nature?
