im thinking about a sine defined for modulus algebra.

Sounds like fun.

sin(a) mod p = b mod p

cos(a) mod p = c mod p

b^2 + c^2 = 1 mod p

where the sine and cosine can be computed by their taylor series expanded at 0 and mod p.

But regardless of the modulus, the coefficients of the Taylor series
are eventually all undefined (division by 0).

that does require for instance convergeance of some kind , i suggest that the lim of the average of the taylor terms is taken.

Averaging -- (mod p) presumably, is an interesting idea.

by this way it will only work for some values of p not just mod *any integer*.

At this point, nothing is working.
