Hi Andrew,
Many thanks for serious answers and link. I hope You were not too annoyed with my style..
I agree, but is not it wonderful how easily physicists would dismiss such a basic operation. Or where they mathematicians? So I am looking for a reason that happened, and, if the reason is sticking to certain rigour than that would be the first place I would be looking for fundamental mistake regardless of achievements and theories that are based on that rigour. 80/20 principle usually works better than gradual approach.
Very happy to hear that, as well as Your positive opinion about series summation via 1/1-x.
Best regards,
Ivars

Quote: I recognise that \( h_{(-1)}\left(e^{\pi/2}\right) = i \) is evidence that tetration pushes real numbers into the complex plane, I accept that. You need to learn to keep your cool.
