Finding a Natural Basis for Three Spin-1/2 Systems

The problem is to identify a natural basis for a system of three spin-1/2 particles, similar to the singlet and triplet states used for two spin-1/2 particles. The existing approach of grouping the first two particles and expressing the basis in terms of their states is not considered optimal. A more natural basis is sought.
