Can the torsion of a connection be measured mechanically?
The papers cited on this question may give you an answer or at least some insight. As far as I have read, the only paper that uses spinors is Flanagan and Rosenthal (arXiv:07041447).

Torsion in kerr black holes
In General Relativity, we generally assume that the derivative operator is torsion-free, i.e., second covariant derivatives commute on functions.
However, in Kerr black holes, spacetime is dragged ( …
