The last time I looked at a dictionary, all definitions are circular. So you

Sigh!
This is a waste of time: you just (facetiously) rejected the
fundamental tenet of science. Which means that the stuff you were
talking about was just pure mathematical fantasy, after all, and nothing
to do with science, or the real world.
