Abstract
We follow the idea that particles are topological solitons, characterised by topological quantum numbers determining charge and spin. To describe such particles and their spin we use the three rotational degrees of freedom of local spatial dreibeins. Orbiting particles contribute by internal rotation to the total angular momentum. The mass of these particles is given by their field energy only.
