=== B) Turning this into a “geometric computer” === If the goal is to collapse “infinitely many sequential steps” into a single logical transformation, there are established formalisms you can borrow and tailor: # Dynamics on a compact space (e.g., the circle S1S^1S1). - State space: X=S1X = S^1X=S1 or configurations X={0,1}S1X = \{0,1\}^{S^1}X={0,1}S1 with an appropriate σ\sigmaσ-algebra. - Map: a continuous (or symbolic) transformation T:X→XT: X \to XT:X→X. One iterate of TTT is your “collapsed step.” Fixed points/cycles (Brouwer, rotation maps, subshifts, etc.) act as the “logical result.” # Observables that can detect single points. - If you stick to integrals, you’ll never see a single flipped point. So include point-evaluation functionals (e.g., Eθ0(f)=f(θ0)E_{\theta_0}(f)=f(\theta_0)Eθ0(f)=f(θ0)), or adopt distributional observables that react to δθ0\delta_{\theta_0}δθ0. That design choice encodes your “one-out-of-infinity matters” principle. # Alternative number systems. - Adopt hyperreals so your machine can manipulate true infinitesimals (your 1/∞1/\infty1/∞). This lets you formalize limits as algebra and make “one in infinitely many” a first-class magnitude. # Analogue/Hypercomputation inspiration (for framing). - GPAC (Shannon/Pour-El & Richards), BSS model over R\mathbb{R}R, and Zeno/supertask machines provide language for “collapsing” infinitely many steps into finite procedures. You don’t need to copy them, but they offer vocabulary and pitfalls (e.g., sensitivity, measurability, physical realizability) to clarify what your geometric computer guarantees. A concrete spec you can run with: * Represent states as f:S1→{0,1}f: S^1 \to \{0,1\}f:S1→{0,1}. * Equip S1S^1S1 with (i) the usual measure μ\muμ and (ii) a chosen finite set of point-evaluation observables {Eθk}\{E_{\theta_k}\}{Eθk}. * Define your “collapse transform” TTT so that it: - Computes a global statistic (an integral) and checks selected points θk\theta_kθk. - Branches logically based on those readings to a canonical output (e.g., constant-1, constant-0, or “single spike at θ0\theta_0θ0” modeled distributionally). * If you want true “1/∞1/\infty1/∞” arithmetic, switch the scalar field to hyperreals and keep the same pipeline.
