Numbers on a wheel?

Wedge:

The number line we draw on paper is neither an actual number line in it's entirety, nor even a line. It is a simple graphical representation of a small portion of the number line.

The line is easy to understand and convenient. If you really need to have a number line that goes from 1 to 50 billion, that's what we invented jog or break lines for.

Yes, there is no space for a complete number line to exist. Fortunately, there is also no use for a complete number line.

Also, your circle system makes it impossible to draw graphs. This is the primary function of number lines.

There is no infinite.
Numbers must thus end.
Let's use a wheel instead.

Don't bring politics onto a thread about logic, the two subjects don't mix.
