How does this symphony of ``partons" determine the proton's spin? We focus here on the proton's helicity and argue that it is determined by the topological susceptibility of the QCD vacuum. A key role is played by a Wess-Zumino-Witten term for a primordial eta-prime Goldstone with the dynamics of the proton's helicity described by the corresponding axion-like effective action. We show that the proton's helicity measured by a very high energy probe is quenched by a drag force determined by the rate of topological (sphaleron) transitions. We argue that first evidence for such sphaleron transitions in nature can be obtained from polarized deeply inelastic scattering experiments at the Electron-Ion Collider under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
