Lightspeed Slash Notation is a googological notation created by Googology wiki user Alpineer, who once claimed this is one of the fastest notations ever created,[1] although it was later realized that it is unfortunately ill-defined and would likely be defeated by other notations if it were well-defined. Even if we restrict it to the defined portion, the notation is directly defined by Bird's array notation by definition. Therefore, it can never be the fastest notation in any sense.
Basic rules[]
Supposing that @1 is a string of n-1 "[1"'s and @2 is a string of n-1 "2]"'s and, using Bird's array notation, its 4 basic rules are:
/n = {10,10[@1[2/n2]@2]2}
/{10,10[@1[2/n2]@2]2} = /0,n
/a+1,n = /a,{10,10[@1[2/n2]@2]2} =
/0,0,n = /{10,10[@1[2/n2]@2]2},0
