Magnetic-ferroic ordering and magnetic-toroidal moments are essential concepts in molecular electronics and magnetics. The magnetic toroidal moment is critical in understanding new electronic states and their possible uses. This paper discusses the notion of toroidicity waves. In particular, we present a one-dimensional model of interconnected toroidicity leading to an organization principle around an emergent quantum particle, a carrier of toroidicity waves, dubbed the toroidon. We illustrate some functionalities that could be achieved once control over the toroidon is acquired. We show that a 1D dimerized and antiferromagnetic-like spin chain can display ferrotoroidicity and propose its description in terms of an effective quasi-1D spin chain, marking a crucial step towards further research on the phenomena and potential applications of ferrotoroids.
