something of zero dimension cannot have slope.

Which is kind of like saying that a dog is not a

What are you trying to say, and why should anyone
be
interested?

A circle or any round geometry is an unchanging curve
and therefore
can't be treated by calculus.

Not true.  As you should know by now.  A circle is
obviously not "zero dimension" as you claimed.  Enough.

You cannot deny the circle as an unchanging curve.

I can truthfully claim that I don't know what you mean by an
"unchanging curve".

I mean round curvature Ray. Circle sphere and hypersphere.

And the definition of curvature for a smooth curve is ...?- Hide quoted

Change in curvature.

So your definition of curvature is "change of curvature"?- Hide quoted text -

Yes calculus is about the change.
