Notes:
A set of two first-order equations for classical spinor fields are used to formulate the relativistic quantum mechanics (RQM) of a single massive spin-1/2 particle. These equations are generalized Weyl equations and they are not equivalent to the Dirac equation. They lead to a conserved charge that is not positive definite, thus allowing for a probabilistic interpretation of the wave function in RQM. The charge is also conserved when the fields interact with a scalar field through the charge-current densities.
