Schematics of physical models. (a) A literal rendering of the discrete model in real space with four lattice sites, labeled A, B, C, D connected in a closed loop. (b) The topologically equivalent ring model used in our simulation with four wells separated by barriers; here v is translational velocity and x measures distance along the ring. (c) A lattice of such rings on a turntable can have a radial variation of velocities, to create a discrete gauge field in real space.
