The Toroid Analogy for the Un-Atom
Think of a smoke ring. It rotates through its center, while it proceeds forward.
It can either rotate clockwise moving forward, or counter-clockwise,
therefore this can be seen as as charge, polarity, or type (electron
vs. positron).
From http://www.sunbelt-software.com/stu/iraq/ordinance_disposal.htm, see ordinance4.jpg for a pretty big smoke ring made by explosives.
Here's another form of a toroid:
or
And a toroid chain:
Actually, toroids can be joined either end to end or end to middle. Here are some of the end to end joins:
Notice that odd numbers of torroids won't join as the field within the torroids will conflict at some point.
Here's the same thing with end to middle joins:

Long strings of torroids can be formed. Strings? String Theory? See http://www.superstringtheory.com/ or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory for more details.
