Abstract: (Elsevier)

Explicit expressions for the interpolating Dirac spinors needed in studies of evolution along an essentially arbitrary time-like direction are presented. One result of this work reproduces instant form results, and the other yields the light front results. The collapse of the spinorial degrees of freedom from four to two follows if we confine to a class of normalization choices.
