A spinorial time space scrS/sub N/ that supports a Kaluza-Klein theory of gauge potentials can be made from N-component spinors of SL(N,C) in the way that the Minkowskian manifold (an scrS/sub 2/) is made from two-component spinors of SL(2,C). scrS/sub N/ has dimension n = N/sup 2/ and fundamental form det (k/sub SigmaSigma-dot/) = 0 of degree N, not 2. scrS/sub N/ unifies the photon and graviton with gauge quanta of all integer spins s with 2
