If you reject private interpretation then what is the authority? At a basic level one has the text (the object to be interpreted) and the reader. A text cannot be its own interpretation as that is a logical circularity (a logical mistake). If the subject is not the interpretor and there is the
"sola" meaning "sole" or "only" then no other elements may be added to the equation. This means the
sola scriptura idea turns into yet another absurdity.

This is not correct. Your understanding as thus far presented is thoroughly a product of the 16th Century innovations of Reformed Protestantism.
