This confuses me because I'm one of those who cannot understand something unless/until I've either built 1 myself or seen evidence of the method at work in the hands of other monkeys such that the final product is seen across the tubez.
You can't understand it because you dismiss the evidence. Evidence like pair production:
..along with annihilation, spin angular momentum, magnetic dipole moment, the Einstein de-Haas effect, and so on. This evidence tells you that the electron is quite literally made from light, and that the rotation is real.

The skyrmion link you gave supplies a maths of the shell model of the atomic nucleus. How do you fold/cut/slice the 'topological distinct' skyrmion solutions without creating a discontinuity in the proposed solution? Especially since these are 'not allowed' in physics?
You don't. You create two solitons with opposite rotation like you create two opposite eddies. I explained this in
Understanding Electromagnetism, where I gave ample scientific evidence along with historical references. You
dismissed that too. That's all you ever do, newolder.
