I'm not sure if this even exists, but can someone recommend me some sort of free organiser/calendar application. That has an absurd level of customisation of repeating cycles and an ability to integrate in scripts and other applications to run automatically, potentially other 'smart objects'.

I've decided that I want to attempt to structure my life to an absurd level, where the computer will play music playlists where they left off at fixed times, turn on lights, message my phone to tell me it is time to brush my teeth, tell me every 3 days to practice coding for an hour, every 10 days tell me to cut my nails. Tell me when to order my shopping, when I need to preheat the oven based on the exact mean I’m having that night to always eat at 8 o’clock. Budget time for my exercise routine that scales up depending on how far along the routine I am and previous data I’ve fed it. And that if I need to amend the process there are various options as to how to handle that.

Does this exist, does anything even come close?

I'd suggest using Google Calendar and IFTTT. Google Calendar has an extremely powerful API that allows it to integrate with other software. IFTTT allows you to plumb various web services together without knowing how to program. It's bidirectional, so events in your calendar can trigger actions, or actions from other things can create events in your Google Calendar. IFTTT has integration with thousands of web services and internet-connected gadgets.

Sounds to me like you want one of those Alexa/whatever things.

Whilst I appreciate your suggestions, I am of a suspicious nature, and am looking for something which only I have privy to the information contained within. And therefore don't trust feeding that information to google or any other cloud service. I want something that I can run on my own machine, even if it is collecting data from elsewhere.

In the adult world we call those PAs and yes, what I really want is a PA that works 24-7 and I don't need to see or pay.

There are some Android apps which family your daily routine. Try 'life rpg' or similar.

This will allow you to micromanage your day, but you may need a separate app to trigger events based on alarms. I used to use one called alarm clock plus which had me perdoing sums to turn the alarm off and could probably be used for events.

Don't forget Tasker, for your Android smartphone.

Lifehacker is basically an infinite repetition of 'use Tasker and IFTTT to automate your life'.
