It is my feeling that any entity with more than a single property, has underlying structure.

We’re in the physics section, and there is no mainstream physics of which I am aware that corroborates your feeling.

Can you point to any support for this?

It would seem that a mass could not exist without spin, however can spin exist without mass?

Yes, massless particles can have spin. The photon is spin 1

OK, so not appropriate for mainstream, and lacking enough evidential support to be a speculation. We can open this again if you come up with more than just feelings.
