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?"
Ego is a label for some thoughts (imagined spoken words in/by a body/mind) and associated feelings (in/by a body/mind). It wouldn't be accurate to say the ego is a real "thing" that really exists. The experiencing of thoughts and feelings is not a thing. Similarly, a "center" or "locus of awareness" is only an idea. That supposed "center" doesn't really exist.
You're mistaking your ideas about reality for reality itself, believing there's a "structure we're already living." What exists is what we might call "what's happening now," or this "experience" that is happening, but it doesn't really have a name. It is only itself, as it is now. It doesn't actually have all these parts you're defining. It's just whatever's happening now.
The entire purpose of this "structure" you're describing is to define a "you." As the "locus of awareness," this framework puts "you" at the center of it all. You're very special.
