Abstract: 'Internal spacetime' is a modification of general relativity that was recently introduced as an approximate spacetime geometric model of quantum nonlocality. In an internal spacetime, time is stationary along the worldlines of fundamental (dust) particles. Consequently, the dimensions of tangent spaces at different points of spacetime vary, and spin wavefunction collapse is modeled by the projection from one tangent space to another. In this article we develop spinors on an internal spacetime, and construct a new Dirac-like Lagrangian whose equations of motion describe their couplings and interactions. Furthermore, we show that hidden within mathcalL is the entire standard model: mathcalL contains precisely three generations of quarks and leptons, the electroweak gauge bosons, the Higgs boson, and one new massive spin-2 boson; gluons are considered in a companion article. Specifically, we are able to derive the correct spin, electric charge, and color charge of each standard model particle, as well as predict the existence of a new boson.
