Although I would never assert that the absence of evidence is evidence of absence... I would point out that nothing like this has ever been observed. Additionally, under our current understanding of physics, protons are made up of smaller parts called quarks. Our current understanding, which is supported by experiment, says that these quarks are only stable in certain configurations. Thus, our current model of physics, which is strongly supported by experiment, does not allow for fractional numbers of protons.
However SE4 is a game where anything is possible.
