Vector fields that are renormalized by a Holder norm as a characteristic
denominator can lead to a class of non-integrable fields that have a non-zero
Hopf index. These fields exhibit Topological Torsion, but have a
vanishing Topological Parity. The integral of the 3-form of topological torsion
is a rational topological invariant when integrated over 3 dimensional cycles in
space time domains where the 4-form of topological parity vanishes. (A Maple
