Spin from Grassmann bilinears

ID: spin-from-grassmann-bilinears

The odd particle variables form an even antisymmetric tensor through their bilinear. Adding it to orbital angular momentum gives a conserved Lorentz Noether charge. The particle and odd-variable equations make the two time derivatives cancel. After spinning-particle Dirac quantization, the bilinear becomes the spinor Lorentz generator rather than an ordinary commuting classical spin vector.
