>>10855887>>10855910you don't get the point. nothing "repeats", it just happens once. you have to drop the notion of the repetition, because it isn't as though you'd go "oh, im back to this place" if you were to last through a "cycle". it would be that specific, precise time, not again, just it.
think about it like this. if you go to a place, and then you go back there later, the place hasn't changed. it's not a new version of the place, or a copy of it. it's the same place.
now translate this spatial notion to one which is also temporal.
