From Hobbyist programmer to a Physics Project worker?

Hello friends.

I am of the age where the Government starts sending me checks. A minimum guaranteed income of sorts.
So in my 20s' I knew what I liked at once when I opened the box on a brand new TI-99 4a and read the included booklet on TI BASIC
The booklet included with that Texas Instruments home computer, introduced me to iterative functions in the BASIC way that many in my age group started off with.
It was called a for-loop. It doesn't get any simpler then that. The fact that logic and other "stuff" could be done inside this loop was the North-Star of my programming life.
So, as a semi-retiree I'm looking at a mathematical object discovered along this life's way with following one's North-Star and I realize that it spins to-and-fro. DUO demonstrates the properties of full-spin and half-spin under logic operations with appropriate bit-position observation.
So, friends, the path before me, is that the object can be considered a "point-Particle" "With Benefits" (pun intended).
I ask this community if anyone knows of any mathematical object that can be our "Point-Particle-Object" of Physics lore.
I was rather good at Community College level Algebra and I sure reached for the Moon when writing my paper but I never fancied myself a student of Physics proper. This is where the age of the Internet will be of help for my generation. We have access to a knowledge base today that was in the realm of Science-Fiction in the days of my childhood.
So, this is part story and part introduction for me here on DEV.
The Story is of one man who was a wide eyed boy living his life who has been living the dream he saw on the original run of Star-Trek with Spock and the Onboard Computer. So Cool! So young...
First off, I an very happy to be among those who are the young and who have their best in hand, looking towards their own "North-Stars.", I like that a lot. The (Creative) Muse has a young love. That is for sure. An Aside: I believe in the Muse!

So this spinning mathematical object has properties and, I hope to see it made into a open-source project because at the heart of the mathematics the object is a datatype and a kind of number. It sure looks like a candidate for a point particle.
Numbers cannot be patented and so open-source seems right. Your thoughts?

So, friends being a green sprout here and also having a Developer coming-out with the planned first public project, I welcome your comments, fellowship and guidance. It may be a wonderful adventure and we all need those.
Consider this a story proper except it is not finite in the classic sense.
Honestly, I am not sure how DEV intends the flow of activity to go so guidance on that is welcome too.

The object I am referring to is Dynamic Unary Object (DUO)

Hey, Gotta get it done before I die "ya-know!" :)

To start I kick off with Github; is it the right move to start with?

Everyone starts someplace.
I know of a mathematical object that has the qualities of spin. That is, the binary pattern changes each time the algorithm is applied.
The initial or starting pattern completes an orbit, meaning the original bit-pattern is seen again, and this object scales from one bit to infinite bits. The thing is it's always a finite length of bit-space or as I like to call it State-Space but any length is just fine. Length is how this object scales and not by value.
I wrote a paper and put it on arXiv in 2014 but I never published any code or made it easy to use this datatype. I followed an example of an accomplished cryptographer and left the coding as an exercise for the reader.

So, in reading an email invite to post here, I am coming out. I have the idea of making an include library and formalize this object as a datatype that runs on our current computers.
I'm starting here.

Your thoughts? I am an absolute Github newbie and also I have never presented an opensource project to the public let alone worked a project for public consumption.
So, your helpful comments are welcomed.
