Remarks
From a physicist's point of view, a spinor is an object with a particular quantum-mechanical spin. The quantum state of such an object is represented by a SpinState object.
From a mathematician's point of view, a spinor labels an irreducible representation of the SO(3) or SU(2) Lie group. Individual vectors within each irreducible representation are represented by SpinState objects.
