I mean you define it on the interval [1,2], i.e. between addition and multiplication, and then you would continue it to the higher operations t>2 by
a [t+1] (b+1) = a [t] ( a [t+1] b )
And then it would be interesting whether the curve is (infinitely) differentiable at t=2, t=3, etc. Of course it would between the endpoints, i.e. on (2,3) and (3,4), etc.
IIRC, this is exactly what I tried to do, some three years ago or so...
It never really worked out, though some sample graphs for 2 [4] x and 3 [4] x looked quite good.
