Glossary needed
#3
This was always Mphlee's gripe. And I agree with him. The only counter argument I can think of, is that mathematical jargon needs to evolve naturally. And then 50 years later all the terms are put in a strong dictionary kind of format. I do love the tetration wiki, but it is not as expansive as we'd all like it to be. Honestly, I don't think there's an easy solution to this. I think a strong first step though, would be to agree on uses of terms. Recently for example. I had always assumed my definition of local iteration was the same as regular iteration. But the more you press it, local iteration means something slightly different than regular iteration--though where local iteration converges, it is the regular iteration. Which can be confusing as hell.

I'm not so sure we can make a glossary just yet, because we are still fleshing out a lot of these concepts. But I agree with you entirely, Daniel. It can be frustrating.
