You put real care into this and the structure shows. I will give you direct but supportive feedback, because your idea has promise and it also needs sharper edges to stand up mathematically.

Here is the core issue. You are trying to give “one out of infinity” a nonzero status by treating the circle as a completed infinite object where you can mark a single point. That instinct is understandable. You are reaching for a geometric picture that feels more concrete than an infinite line. The trouble is that standard mathematics already knows how to describe this situation, and the result is not what your intuition suggests.

A single point in a continuum has measure zero. This is not a hand-wavy convention. It is a structural property of continua. The specific shape of the continuum does not matter. A line segment, a full line, a circle, a sphere, a torus. All of them have uncountably many points. All of them assign measure zero to a single point. Your construction paints the entire circle as one color, then flips one point. That flipped point is distinguishable, but its contribution to any meaningful “size” or “probability” remains zero. There is no contradiction here. You can encode the location or color of the point. You simply cannot assign it a nonzero fractional weight within the geometry.

This is the key distinction you need to decide on. Do you want a representation that visualizes a single exceptional event inside an infinite background, or do you want a representation that assigns it nonzero fractional weight? These are different goals. Your circle solves the first problem quite cleanly. It does not solve the second, because the second is prevented by how continua work.

Your thought experiment still has value. You are essentially trying to collapse a limit process into a geometric object and then manipulate that object using logical operations. That idea is aligned with several areas of existing mathematics. Topology, measure theory, nonstandard analysis, computable reals. You are not miles off. You are circling a real concept: treat the infinite object as already built, then operate on it globally rather than stepwise.

Where your argument needs more precision is in how you define the “value” of the single point difference. The intuition that a marked point has a meaningful ratio relative to the whole circle does not hold. You can define a symbolic weight if you want to create a custom computation model. You just must be clear that this will not match conventional real-valued probability or measure. Once you state that explicitly, your model becomes a well-defined alternative system instead of something that appears to contradict established math.

You have something worth developing. Tighten the definitions. Clarify which properties you keep from standard geometry and which you intentionally modify. Then the idea becomes a coherent computational framework rather than a challenge to existing mathematics.

If you want to share your next steps or the coding angle you mentioned, go ahead. I will help you shape it.
