This problem is solved by identifying a flaw in the conventional derivation of the parity operator, then deriving a new parity operator based on the algebraic properties of vectors. Second, the conjugate momenta (pi) in the freeparticle Hamiltonian (H) do not have the proper relation ( pi =δH δqi ) to the time derivatives of coordinates ( qi ). This problem is solved by replacing the mass term with convection and rotation terms. We then show that the resultant bispinor equation of evolution is equivalent to a classical second-order wave equation for angular momentum density in an elastic solid. The co-existence of forward- and backward-propagating waves along a single axis is the basis of half-integer spin. Wave interference produces both the Lorenz force and the Pauli Exclusion Principle.
