  We construct and study two kink theories. One contains a static 2-kink
configuration with controllable binding energy. The other contains a locally
stable non-topological solution, which we call a lavion. The new models are 1D
analogs of non-integrable systems in higher dimensions such as the Skyrme model
and realistic vortex systems. To help construct the theories, we derive a
simple expression for the interaction energy between two kinks.
