A set of two first-order equations for classical spinor fields are used to formulate the relativistic quantum mechanics (RQM) of a single massive spin-1/2 particle. These equations are generalized Weyl equations and they are not equivalent to the Dirac equation. They lead to a conserved charge that is not positive definite, thus allowing for a probabilistic interpretation of the wave function in RQM. The charge is also conserved when the fields interact with a scalar field through the charge-current densities.

A rigorous ab initio derivation of the quantum mechanics of a single particle with spin is presented starting by conformally Weyl-gauge-invariant principle. The particle is described as a relativistic top with six Euler's angles and quantum effects are introduced by assuming that the Weyl's curvature of the particle configuration space acts on it as an external scalar potential. Weyl's conformal covariance is made explicit in all steps of the theory. It is shown that metric of the configuration space accounts for non-quantum relativistic effects, while the affine connections account for quantum relativistic effects. In this way, classical and quantum features acquire well distinguished geometrical origin. A scalar wave function is also introduced to recover the connection with the standard quantum description based on Dirac's four-component spinors. Finally, the case of two entangled spins is considered in the nonrelativistic limit and it is found that the nonlocality rests on the entanglement of the spin internal orientational variables, playing the role of "hidden variables". The theory was carried out in the Minkowski space-time, but it can be easily extended to a space with nonzero Riemann curvature.

In quantum mechanics (QM), the electron of spin-charge in probabilistic distribution about a nucleus of a hydrogen atom is described by non-relativistic Schrödinger’s wave equation. Its transformation to Dirac fermion of a complex four-component spinor is incorporated into relativistic quantum field theory (QFT). The quantum system in both cases is represented by a wave function but how it collapses to a point at observation omits out both the hidden variables of the spinor and their evolutionary paths into space-time. This presents an ontological dilemma that cannot be satisfactorily explained by conventional theories either driven by experiments or vice versa. In this study, the ontology of Dirac fermion within a proposed MP model of 4D quantum space-time of hydrogen atom type is examined. The electron of a point-particle and its transformation to Dirac fermion appears consistent with Dirac belt trick for the generation of superposition states of spin-charge and their antimatter. Center of mass reference frame relevant to Newtonian gravity is assigned to the spherical point-boundary of the model. This offers an intricate dynamic tool compatible with basic aspects of both QM and QFT. Some of these are explored for non-relativistic wave function and its collapse, quantized Hamiltonian, Dirac spinors, Weyl spinors, Majorana fermions and Lorentz transformation. How the model could further relate to space-time geometry for a body-mass in an elliptical orbit is plotted from an alternative interpretation of general relativity and a multiverse of the MP models at a hierarchy of scales is proposed for further considerations.
