apart from the fact that you are throwing off NAMD's heuristics
in a bad way, you simply cannot simulate a "molecule" like this
in classical MD. without any mass on atoms there is no way to
integrate the integrate the equations of motion. you can only
have massless particles as pseudo particles or virtual sites,
where their position is derived from other coordinates and the
resulting forces are translated back to the original sites.
