>>10852935>A cyclical system repeats infinitely.This only makes sense if we nest the cyclical system within a larger linear system of time. For it to "loop" once, twice, three times, and so on, you need some sort of iterator outside the system doing the counting. It's kind of like saying a circle is infinite. It isn't, but it seems infinite when you follow the line and start measuring how far you've traveled or start counting every time you complete a lap. Locally, you're correct, but globally, your tools aren't capturing the finite, "all at once" nature of the circle
