   Spin is an observable momenta factor in general.   
   A simple state effect with no origin other than   
   a characteristic associative.   
      
   A zero means non-existence of this field.  Meaning   
   the relation of momenta has a cause.  With   
   light there is a lack of relative velocity differential   
   in one direction. The implication being relative   
   light velocity does not exist.   
      
   The odd implication appears the spin of   
   radiowaves.  I am not sure here, but suggest   
   the effect of local field.  Is there   
   a two state valuation set of spin due to transition of   
   local to nonlocal states?
