The discussion in blog 007 expresses the main concepts of sub-quantum mechanics for spin.  In these next few entries I will explain the physical insight sub-quantum mechanics gives.

It is important to be able to use mathematics, which is the logic of the LHS of the brain, to visualize what is going on, using the RHS of the brain.  The two must be consistent. Heisenberg said that we observe our natural surroundings and intuitively develop a visualization of what is going on.  We do not need a mathematical description macroscopically, unless we need precision, and Classical Mechanics works extremely well.
