Abstract. With three rotational degrees of freedom of spatial Dreibeins and an appropriate Lagrangian [1,4] we describe electromagnetic phenomena [2]. Stable solitonic excitations we compare with the lightest fundamental electric charges, electrons and positrons. Two Goldstone bosons we relate to the properties of photons [3]. These excitations are characterised by three topological quantum numbers, corresponding to charge, spin and photon number.
