I appreciate your point of view.
So, as to spin direction, any further thoughts, or have you dismissed that? The reason I press on is I read (learned) that sub-atomic particles each have unique spin (up/down,clockwise, counter clockwise, diagonal, yada), which in turn then, define elements. I'm not talking about fields, like the Higgs.
I read about one collision experiment where the SAP went off the area of observance with a particular spin and re-entered with a different spin.
Also, the effects at a distance, where, at the quantum level, a change in the state of one particle affects another for no observable reason. Perhaps you have a POV.
These things interest me 'cause, like chaos theory, they lead to an understanding that, despite the most rigorous validation, the nature of the universe includes randomness, i.e. the metaphorical poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
So God really does play dice.—IM
Up until you mentioned earlier about spin direction I never gave it much thought. Now that you mention it again and expanded on it a lil I'm wondering if there is an elemental force that governs the spin direction?
Also makes me wonder if spin speed is significant?
At quantum levels like we are talking about normal physics probably don't apply. Quantum has its own set of laws.
The solar system spins according to how its mass gathered. Yet Uranus spins off kilter from the rest of the system, probably due to a collision with something while it was still a relatively solid ball.
At quantum, I'm not sure how gravity works. The spins may not be gravity governed?
Four basic forces—
gravitational, electromagnetic, strong, and weak — that govern how objects or particles interact and how certain particles decay.
All the known forces of nature can be traced to these fundamental interactions.
The keyword is
Known.
I did a quick search for fermion spin properties and a wiki came up on
Spin 1/2 =
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin-%C2%BD
The dynamics of spin-1/2 objects cannot be accurately described using classical physics; they are among the simplest systems which require quantum mechanics to describe them. As such, the study of the behavior of spin-1/2 systems forms a central part of quantum mechanics.
The entry then directs to Spin-Statistics Theorem, another wiki =
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin%E2%80%93statistics_theorem
In quantum mechanics, the spin–statistics theorem relates the intrinsic spin of a particle (angular momentum not due to the orbital motion) to the particle statistics it obeys. In units of the reduced Planck constant ħ, all particles have either integer spin or half-integer spin.
The Fermi–Dirac distribution describing fermions leads to interesting properties. Since only one fermion can occupy a given quantum state, the lowest single-particle energy level for spin-1/2 fermions contains at most two particles, with the spins of the particles oppositely aligned.
Then it goes on to state that there is still energy present at Absolute Zero which I don't agree. They are confusing scientific AZ values with True AZ (frozen state).
So, from what I'm reading and digesting, they think fermions are polarized and that polarity dictates their spin properties?
The only sure way to know if spin is a result of interaction or a condition of existence is to observe a fermion manifesting in a void and see which way it spins, if it even does? Then manifest a 2nd fermion and see if the spin changes or starts. Then manifest a third and watch how they all interact with each other.
Which would certainly be interesting if we could do that.
Plus, I would like to know what happens if the spin is stopped? Does the fermion wink out of existence? Does it attract an anti-fermion that results in annihilation? Does the fermion become part of the bosonic field or the ghost field?
Have a look at Faddeev–Popov ghost =

One thing I'm not finding is direction or speed of the fermion spins.
Perhaps those characteristics are specific to the type of fermion. Its probably significant that bosons also have spin?
Force Particles
Not sure what that language is but I recognize the names...
The significance of these images is that all of these have some type of spin (movement).
Mesons are intermediate mass particles which are made up of a quark-antiquark pair. Three quark combinations are called baryons. Mesons are bosons, while the baryons are fermions. Recent experimental evidence shows the existence of five-quark combinations which are being called pentaquarks.

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Particles/hadron.html
The source goes on to tell about the different hadrons, baryons and mesons.
During my search for spin values I saw (but didn't read) a notation that mesons have ZERO spin? It was written in the description of a link on a search result and I forget what I searched when I saw it.
If mesons have no spin (no movement) is significant, I think?
If a meson interacts with a spinning fermion could it drag on the fermion that causes a change in the spin aspect? Changing its direction or possibly slowing it? Not friction drag, force drag?
Like spinning a beach ball in the water and changing its spin by slightly dragging your hand a different direction?
