Abstract
This Letter describes a topological bootstrap theory of strong interactions that generates baryon number, three topological "colors," and spin-½ confined "quarks" with eight flavors. Extension to electromagnetism allows the topological objects called "quarks" to be associated with leptons, so that eight leptons are predicted.Keywords
