Why does it not unwind?
A true soliton needs an energy functional, topology or another dynamical obstruction. The drawing merely assumes persistence.
CONCEPTUAL FIELD LAB · NOT A PHYSICAL SIMULATION
Disturb the picture.
This interactive is deliberately pre-theoretical. It lets us manipulate an oriented continuum around a localized defect and notice what the picture assumes for free. Nothing on this page is evidence for an electron model.

What should bother us?
Where is the double cover?
Cosserat orientation naturally suggests SO(3). Electron spin requires a spinorial structure. That gap remains open.
Why is the lattice invisible?
A real substrate must recover the observed Lorentz symmetry and evade orientation/boost constraints, not just imitate a light cone visually.

Turn discomfort into the next drawing.
The next visual experiment should expose the core energy and allowed unwinding paths. If a supposed topological particle can dissolve continuously once boundary conditions are drawn honestly, the image should show it dying.
