Thank you Gottfried for the references.
The base idea was independently mentioned by Ansus on the forum:
http://math.eretrandre.org/tetrationforu...31#pid3131

For monomials we have a closed form for the (indefinite) sum.
Also we know that the sum is linear.
So we can compute the sum of polynomials and even powerseries.

however , the non-integer number of additions in the pdf is just a possible generalisation.

so it might not be tetration afterall , or beter said , not neccessarily your " favorite " tetration.
