m is used to describe the size of the Strong D function.

So the Alpha function of numbers up to 2^x will generate Strong D functions with x parameters and each parameter will be a nested Strong D function with (up to) x parameters.

The program code generates the values for m. There is no simple formula that it uses. I will add descriptions to the code to explain how it works.
