There are a lot of things here that I take issue with. Some things I find relatively insulting. I wrote up a list, but I'd rather you spend your time answering the following challenge:
Describe to me any particular infinite process which does not derive or presume the existence of an actual infinity (e.g. an infinitely large set). You may also want to specify the details of your model for an infinite process to prove that your example isn't circular.
---------------
I promise that I will not simply quantify over all the results of the process and call it an infinite set.
You may use time as part of the definition of your process, but you may not prematurely assume that there is an infinite process for enumerating timesteps. If you did, the example would run the risk of being circular. If you can construct it, then you can use it.
Likewise, you may include a finite number of atoms, but you can't sweep any actual infinite objects underneath them.
