Meaning if you have to change or add to the shape of a circle a few times it ceases being a circle.First of all, there is no "sum total of the original purpose" for physics.
There was no "original purpose" for Newtonian physics, and there is none for relative physics.
And as for the 'shape' of the circle. It's not that the shape is being changed, it's that missing pieces of the arc are being added to it.
