If you want to call p_5 an "angular momentum", you can. The
point is that it *isn't* L_x, L_y, or L_z. The angular momentum
L_x represents angular motion in the y-z plane. L_y represents
angular motion in the x-z plane. L_z represents angular motion
in the x-y plane. p_5 has *nothing* to do with the x-y plane
or x-z plane or y-z plane. It's orthogonal to all of those.

That is exactly my point. The circular motion through x_5, is
orthogonal to all of x,y,z. But circular motion has a vector which
always projects orthogonally. So the x_5 motion creates a vector which
points with equal (squared) magnitude isotropically into all of x,y,z.
That is *already* non-classical, because classically, vectors have a
definite direction and here the vector can and does point every which
way. Then, when we take the square root of this, and treat it as an
operator, we pop out the spin matrices, and their non-classical
two-valuedness. But the foundation is laid geometrically, in the x^5
dimension, and not just superimposed by brute force onto four dimensions
which is that state of affairs in physics at the present day.
