Example of a single-tetrahedron minimum-energy configuration for the chiral Hamiltonian in Eq. (1) shown in the Heisenberg spin configuration (a), the color representation (b), the Potts gauge fields \({{{{\bf{B}}}}}_{\mu }^{(x)},\,{{{{\bf{B}}}}}_{\mu }^{(y)}\), and \({{{{\bf{B}}}}}_{\mu }^{(z)}\) colored in red, blue, and green, respectively, in the single tetrahedron (c).
