Hextro

Visualization of hextro using exponentiation

Hextro is equal to s(6,6,3) in strong array notation.[1] The term was coined by wiki user Hyp cos. It can be represented in up-arrow notation as \(6\uparrow\uparrow\uparrow6\) (6 pentated to 6).

This number is also equal to s(6,2,4) and s(6,3,1,2).

Etymology[]

The name of this number is based on the word "hexa" and "tri" (Greek for 6 and 3), meaning a base-6 number, generated using hyper-3 operation based on exponentiation.

Computation[]

Hextro can be computed in the following process:

  • \(f(1)=6\)
  • \(f(2)=6^6=46656\)
  • \(f(3)=6^{6^6}\approx2.6591\times10^{36305}\)
  • \(f(4)=6^{6^{6^6}}\)
  • etc.
  • Hextro equals \(f(f(f(f(f(6)))))\).
