Where does an Electron Record Spin Direction?

[talanum1]

If an electron records it's spin quantum number = 1/2 inside it, where does the spin direction get recorded? And how does it get recorded: relative to what?

It must get recorded when the electron spin is observed.

After it gets measured, an electron has spin up/down. Where is this recorded?

are electron still point particles that display characteristics of being pointless? like no shape or size?

"are electron still point particles that display characteristics of being pointless? like no shape or size?"

Only up to scales of 10^(-19)m.
