Bass way up high, keyboards barking synthesized voices, and some guy talking a bunch of sly, insinuating jive faster than you can pay attention; enough to bring cops in from parallel dimensions!

You have to stay away form those poles. The pitch fork would make a pure tone which has an infinite representation in the Fourier domain. Maybe your infinite aktuals sample experiences in the time domain in much the way an A/D converter can represent to the information in the frequency domain by making assumptions about single bandwidth. The tone made by the pitch fork could be some sort of sampling device, and in this way you avoid the need to have an actual infinite between the two domains and the answers to the unanswerable questions remain that way. since you are already intending to use Fourier series one of the things that has wrapped my head around a pole is the idea that a finite thing in the time domain has an infinite representation in the Fourier domain.
