    By combining the tetrads of unholonomic frames of spacetime with the Dirac matrices to a one-form \(\gamma\), we can reformulate not only the Dirac equation, but also the Einstein equations and supergravity in a very concise form. These `Clifforms' also shed some light on the chiral decomposition à la Ashtekar, the role of the axion as a dynamical degree of freedom dual to the torsion of the Einstein-Cartan theory, and the role of the Seiberg-Witten equation for \(S\)-duality.
