The technical thing you are trying to accomplish, is, as far as I know,

I presume you're answering the question of "what is it you're trying to
do."  Can't be sure.  But chances are good.

Far be it from me to tell you how wrong you are.   I'm still not even
sure what you're trying to do ultimately.
