Mixed factorial \(n^*\) is a function recursively defined as

\[1^* = 1\]

\[(n + 1)^* = n^* +^n (n + 1)\]

where \(+^n\) is the \(n\)th hyper operator, starting at addition. For example, \(4^* = ((1 + 2) \cdot 3) \uparrow 4\). Informally, the sequence can be visualized as starting with 1, adding 2, multiplying by 3, exponentiating by 4, tetrating by 5, ...

The function was coined by an author under the alias of "SpongeTechX".
