I know that there is also some overlap with *infinite* iteration (chaos, fractals, dynamic systems; Mandelbrot, Julia, etc.). However I have not much expertise in those fields and see them as somewhat apart. On the other hand those topics would attract a broader range of people and perhaps would bring more movement into the tetration topic too. To overcome my indecision I simply start a poll about it.
Just for clarification: the term "infinite" was thought only as a sub-subject (;-)) of "integer" or "natural". My second personal intention is focused on the general aspect of "integer tetration" (specifically: series of...) So I've difficulties to answer to the poll, which collects opinions about much more extension of subjects.
But as I review the "about:forum" our forum was explicitely dedicated to continuous tetration and perhaps I'm the only one here with the interest, so I won't push on it. I'm completely happy with the progress we accomplish here. I've seen the "tetraspace"-forum, and it was not nearly as constructive as the current one - perhaps because of the arbitraryness of the various focuses. Hunting a game (as we do it here with the continuous version) cannot be successful, if we carry our whole village with us and make sound with our lots of dishes and everything... ;-)
Well, let's see, what goes on with the poll.
