This letter describes a topological bootstrap theory of strong interactions that generates baryon number, three topological ''colors'' and spin-1/2 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.
