As outgrowth of a topological bootstrap theory of strong interactions and precursor to a corresponding theory of weak interactions, we propose a representation of electromagnetic interactions for "elementary" hadrons and leptons through combinatorial topology. The representation supports the prediction of four lepton doublets
