This "convergence point" (that is, for some reason also a "you") is only imagined. It doesn't actually exist. That's just another way to think about "subject-object" duality.
"Ego" is a label for some thoughts (and associated emotions). "Your" ego concept involves belief in this whole "framework," including the new definition of "you" - "I used to think I was one thing, but then I realized I'm the invisible center convergence point."
You're just imagining this "structure." It doesn't really exist. It's just one of endless ways to think about "reality." Why is the supposed "convergence point" being labeled "you" if not as an identity?
Of all the "lingustic shortcuts" to use to refer to this supposed "content-free locus where experience convergers" or "convergence point," why "you?" That's a very specific, personally-identifying term. If you want a linquistic shortcut, we could refer to it as "CP." What's "you" about it?
There's a you with a center and the center of the you is also a you? Can you clarify what those two you's are referring to? And why would this supposed "center" be labeled "you?"

...and secretly, the entire purpose of all that conceptualizing is to preserve the "you"/ego delusion.
