  We propose a protocol to demonstrate the topological order of a spin-1/2
lattice model with four-body interactions. Unlike other proposals, it does not
rely on the controlled movement of quasiparticles, thus eliminating the
addressing, decoherence and dynamical phase problems related to them. Rather,
the protocol profits from the degeneracy of the ground state. It involves the
addition of Zeeman terms to the original Hamiltonian that are used to create
holes and move them around in the system.
