See I don’t understand why Christians think the trinity is a contradiction. “God is one person, composed of three other persons.” makes as much sense as “The China brain is one person, composed of a billion people” or “a subset is a set that is part of another set”. In programming, it’s easy to create an object that belongs to class X while also having component parts that belong to class X.
The problem is that the options you just alluded to are probably heresy: I think subordinationism on one side and modalistic monarchianism on the other.

I think the idea is that it’s supposed to be both the same being and different beings, and the logical contradiction is a Divine Mystery?
Or something like that.
To me, that just means that God is fractal
