What if size is a circle?

This is probably a dumb question. What if instead of following a straight line, size is an infinate scale which goes in a circle in which the smallest things are also the biggest. This could apply to anything which is a spectrum. Any spectrum has an infinate number of impossibilities so maybe all scales go in a circle so the start starts where the end ends, which is nowhere because its a circle.

What means that the smallest things are the biggest? The spectrum of some signal or field is obtained by applying the Fourier transform (FT) to that signal or field (if the field is over N dimensions the FT must be also over N dimensions.
You can take a circle and apply a 2-D Fourier Transform and you will get it’s frequency components, the smallest is the circle, the higher frequencies it will have.
