Just came across an article, which refers to the alternating series
\( \hspace{48} s= - \sum_{b=2}^{\infty} (-1)^b *log( (\frac1b)\^\^ ^{\tiny 2}) \)
whose terms contain the towers of height 2 of reciprocals of consecutive bases.
The terms of the series in their original notation are
\( \hspace{48} (-1)^b * \frac{\log(b)}{b} \)
which I converted to
\( \hspace{48} = \log(b^{\frac1b}) = - log(\frac1b ^{\frac1b})= - log(\frac1b\^\^ ^{\tiny 2}) \)
The result is -without explicite derivation, but the method was indicated- given as
\( \hspace{48} s= \log(2)(\gamma - \frac12\log(2)) \)

Note: a couple of msgs of mine related to such series you'll find by keyword "tetra-eta-series", which I used earlier
