| | CONTEXTS FOR SIMPLE SPINOR ALGEBRA |
 | | The understanding of spinors as being attached to, and constructed from isotropic vectors in Euclidean spaces strongly suggests that a physical R³ model of space in a fundamental physical theory be replaced with a C³ that is the analytic continuation of R³. |
 | | If the space is to be independent of the coordinates, the model R³ should be thought of as embedded in a C³, i.e., an Râ¶; further, the linear space of 2x2 complex matrices is homeomorphic to Râ¸, and the image space Râ¶ is a linear subspace of this Râ¸. |
 | | Even in Euclidean spaces, as one can speak of vector fields, vectors that are function of position in the space, one can also speak of spinor fields, and these are the animals that appear in physics when speaking of the spin of electron. |
