I have a new idea for a maximum cap for a finite number.

So, as we know, infinity is something you cannot reach. And there are infinite finite numbers. BUT what if we set the max cap of a finite number to any multiple of 8? It can be 8 multiplied by infinity, but the number (even if it’s literally incomprehensibly massive) has to be a finite multiple of 8. So, for an example to save our brains, I can set the cap to 24. If I add one more, I have reached infinity, which is in this case 25. Now we have what I want to call “odd infinity”. If we add one more, we get “even infinity”. If we subtract one, we get odd infinity. If we subtract another, we get the max cap (in this case 24). Now, what if you add one more to 26? Well, it becomes odd again, and i just made it loop back to 25 to save myself a huge headache and give myself some predictability. If our max cap in this case is 24 (it can be any multiple of 8, if you set it to it of course), then odd infinity is 25 and even infinity is 26! I think this can solve a lot of unsolved problems, but this is just a concept I thought of on my bed. I know people will say this has big problems and something about “oh infinity is infinity, you cannot make a number infinity or change infinity to a finite number”, In this context I have changed the definition of infinity. There are theoretically infinite multiples of 8, and infinity is just one more or two more depending on if you want odd or even. Now, you may be thinking “why 8?”, well, you heard of the 32 or 64 bit integer limits? Well, they’re multiples of 8! And if we make this “universal integer limit” a multiple of 8, odd infinity is a multiple of whatever number is required to make said set integer limit +1. And even infinity is like odd infinity, but it’s +2 instead. I just realized as of typing this, I left out the possibility of odd infinity or even infinity being a prime number. If you can help find a solution or any problems with this idea I came up with on my bed in 30 minutes or it’s a bad one, please tell me. Thanks!
