1. Would you explain today's screen shots of the X spin and the Y spin and the X&Y spin combined? What kind of photon is the yellow ball? Is that a photon that's spinning on its axis?
I changed the photon color to yellow because it worked better with the transparent axes than the red. It is the same photon as before.
There is no axial spin on any of those shots because it doesn't really help with understanding the path, in fact it can get in the way sometimes. It is extremely important to the theory because that energy would be transmitted to any field photons that our photon collides with. In these screen shots I am trying to understand the path the photon takes rather than how it interacts with other photons.
With the X, Y and X+Y shots I was trying to show how the stacked spins operate and how they add together. By showing just the spin about the X axis which is 1R (radius of photon) away from the center of the photon and showing just the Y spin, which is 2R from the center. Then adding these 2 together to produce a more complex path.
You can start to see why the axis of rotation has to be moved away from the center of the photon because you can see the circle made by just the X or Y path, The circle created by the X spin is 2R in diameter. This means that the next level of spin must rotate about an axis that far away from the center of the photon. The next level above that will need to be 4R because the Y spin takes up 4R space.

2. Do normal photons that travel at "c" spin, or not spin? Do photons that spin stop moving at "c"? What causes them to spin? What makes them stop moving at "c"?
When we measure the speed of light, c, we are measuring the linear velocity of the photon. This has nothing to do with the stacked spins. The spins happen while the photon is moving at c in some direction. Think of the photon with all its stacked spins as a complete entity, it is this that has a linear velocity, c. It can probably have any velocity up to c. I am imagining a sea of photons that are waiting to be recycled by collisions with faster traveling and/or spinning photons.
It is interesting to think about how the linear velocity affects the spin path. What you get is a wave. This is why scientists have been confused by light acting like both a wave and a particle. It is, by this theory, a particle with a built in wave.
I do not know how fast photons could spin. The spins and the linear velocity are gained by simple collisions with other photons. They are also slowed down by collisions. This can affect both the linear velocity and the spin. It seems it is also possible for a particular spin level to be affected while leaving the others untouched, or at least minimally.
For example, lets take an electron with all 4 of its spin levels in operation. If it collides with a positron, which is just an electron with a Z spin in the opposite direction, then they will cancel each others Z spin (assuming the same Z spin rate for simplicity). This causes them to lose their electric charge and it appears like they annihilate each other because our detectors can not see them anymore.

3. Is the screen shot of the X spin a spinning photon revolving on a circular path? How is that different from an orbital path? It looks like there would be an attractive force to keep it on a circular path, instead of going off on a straight line path.
This is nothing like an orbit. It is exactly the same as an orbital path, because that is just a circle, as is each spin level taken in isolation. An orbit is a complex relationship between expansion and the E/M field being emitted by an entity and how it interacts with the E/M field of the orbiting body.
The circular path is the spin for that level. If the photon only had this 1 level of spin, that is the path that it would take, assuming no linear velocity. So you could say that it is an orbit about the axis for that level, if you only view an orbit by its geometry, but in the sense of a moon orbiting a planet, or a planet orbiting the sun they are nothing alike.
I don't know why the photons spin other than gathering them by random collisions. I can easily imagine collisions causing linear velocity and an axial spin. I see that the axial spin changes the next collision because of how gyroscopes work. I have trouble seeing why it ends up with a stacked spin. At this point I am letting that go in order to see where it leads because Miles papers are making sense of things that have seemed chaotic and senseless.

4. If a spinning photon captures normal photons, does it make them spin in order to capture them?
No, that is not required. Actually I would think that if the field photon had any spin then it would affect the engine photon in some way. As I understand it, the field photons are basically photons that have had all of their spins stripped by collisions. They are relatively slow compared to the engine photons linear velocity. Essentially they are dead. This is why I think of them as a sea. It could also be because I recently read about Dirac's sea of negative energy and that is clouding my interpretation a bit as I saw some parallels.
The engine would impart some of its spin and linear velocity to the field photons. It does not do this to capture them, but it will happen because any collision must transfer energy.
When a neutron, or any other particle, captures photons, what I see is something like this. The neutron is traveling along at some great velocity, let's say c. It collides with a field photon. The collision pushes the field photon forward and towards the inside of the neutrons path. The neutron continues to spin and as it reaches the other side of its path it collides with the field photon again. This causes the field photon to bounce back towards the other side of the path where the neutron is there to meet it again. The field photon keeps bouncing around inside the spin path of the neutron.
I don't think that this could continue on forever so I imagine that some field photons fall out and are replaced by other photons from the field.
