contents <p>We present an emergent hydrodynamic framework for fermionic statistics within a 3 + 1-dimensional quantized superfluid effective field theory (EFT). While classi-<br>cal vortices in irrotational fluids are bosonic, we demonstrate that quantized vortex loops generically acquire an effective internal framing arising from the anisotropic<br>geometry and phase-gradient structure of their cores. These framed vortex loops inhabit a configuration space C ∼= (T 3 × SO(3))N /SN . We define the Berry con-<br>nection on the Hilbert bundle of condensate states and show that the adiabatic exchange of two such defects corresponds to a non-contractible loop in SO(3). Due<br>to π1(SO(3)) ∼= Z2, the resulting holonomy yields a topological phase π, producing the fermionic exchange sign eiπ = −1. This provides a concrete mechanical real-<br>ization of the Finkelstein–Rubinstein constraint and demonstrates the possibility that half-integer spin and fermionic exchange statistics can emerge as topological<br>properties of a superfluid vacuum.</p>
