There is no correct or incorrect here, but I will say it looks perfectly fine to me. I don't understand it. Is that what you are trying to communicate? There are many words I don't understand; even ones found in the dictionary. That is nothing new.
Here's the magic: I don't need to understand. Nobody is born with the understanding. Where communication is desired, we use other devices to express lack of understanding and keep trying to convey intent until a shared understanding is reached. I don't yet understand what that means, but assuming you are here in good faith, I eventually will as you continue to work to communicate your intent behind it.
I know computer people who spend their days writing in programming languages that never talk back struggle with this concept, but that doesn't change the reality.
