          The linear map from leftHandedWeyl ⊗ altLeftHandedWeyl to ℂ given by summing over components of leftHandedWeyl and altLeftHandedWeyl in the standard basis (i.e. the dot product). Physically, the contraction of a left-handed Weyl fermion with a alt-left-handed Weyl fermion. In index notation this is ψ^a φ_a.
