Abstract

The hypercomplex number system of the Dirac equation is used to generalizeSU(2) to the covering group ofSO(4). The basic representations in this number language suggest a parton model of 6 “bits” and 6 “antibits”; one with spin 0, two with spin 1/2, and three with spin 1. The relationship of this to the special relativity group is also considered.
