 Causal Dirac spinor current

For a commuting spinor in mostly-plus signature, orient its Dirac current to the future and write $V^i={ϵ}^{†}{\alpha }^iϵ$, with Hermitian ${\alpha }^i=-{\gamma }^0{\gamma }^i$. For every spatial unit vector $u$, $(u\cdot \alpha {)}^2=1$ implies $|u\cdot V|\le {ϵ}^{†}ϵ=V^0$. Choosing $u$ along the spatial current proves $V^2\le 0$. Thus spinor bilinears supply causal vectors suitable for energy-condition estimates. A Grassmann-valued spinor does not have this ordinary positivity interpretation.
