Quaternion (Q-) mathematics formally containsmany fragments of physical laws; in particular, the Hamiltonian for the Pauli equation automatically emerges in a space with Q-metric. The eigenfunction method shows that any Q-unit has an interior structure consisting of spinor functions; this helps us to represent any complex number in an orthogonal form associated with a novel geometric image (the conicgearing picture). Fundamental Q-unit-spinor relations are found, revealing the geometric meaning of the spinors as Lamé coefficients (dyads) locally coupling the base and tangent surfaces.
