Abstract

The multicomponent wave function of the spin and vector fields is presented as a one-component function depending on the position and orientation of a zero-size moving rotating observer. It is shown that the Dirac and Maxwell equations and the fine structure constant are the result of the connection of two spaces: the Minkowski space and the space of orientations (the observer), and this relationship is not mathematical, but physical in nature.
