Talk:Power-tower paradox

Discovery vs. naming
Hi, I'm Robert Munafo. I wanted to make sure people don't think I "discovered" this phenomenon. It is a common problem anytime one uses level-index representation for numbers. For example, Clenshaw and Olver's SLI method (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_level-index_arithmetic ) never overflows, and supports power-towers only up to a height of 8, and is incapable of overflow if you only allow addition and multiplication.
