I just posted why the tommy sheldon conjecture should hold.
So yes our f(x) is becoming very good.
But maybe we can learn from the classic masters something too ?
I mean surely you thought of the bell numbers right ?
Afterall if one wants boundaries on
e Bell(n)/n!
or equivalently
ln( Bell(n)/n!) + 1
Then one could use in a similar fashion
c_n x^n < exp(exp(x))
and repeat what we did here.
But the Bell numbers have been studied in different ways too , going from number theory and combinatorics to other uses of calculus and dynamics etc.
Or could the classic masters have learned from us ?

Maybe our methods give better approximations of bell numbers.
I recall that also Gottfried has studied the bell numbers in detail with matrices.
Maybe we can generalize the bell numbers in " tetration style ".
Another thing :
In NKS Wolfram mentions cellular automatons and recursions that grow at unknown growth rates.
I believe these relate to asymptotic function related to tetration and exp^[1/2] ...
Although it does not follow clearly from the equations , not even the recursive ones.
That might be an active research field.
As for f(z) and f(f(z))/exp(z) being entire ...
I repeat my questions/remarks :
What does the weierstrass product of those look like ??
Do we have f(z) = exp(g(z)) ( 1 + a_1 z)(1 + a_2 z) ... ?
or is there no exp(g(z)) term ??
Well it seems the g(z) is absurd.
HOWEVER we know g(z) could be a fake log !!
and so could ( 1 + a_1 z)(1 + a_2 z) ... be a fake 1/ln(x) !
So its not directly Obvious.
Notice f(z) = exp(g(z)) ( 1 + a_1 z)(1 + a_2 z) ...
implies f(z) has no positive real zero's but an infinite amount of negative zero's ( the a_n ).
Also f(z) = exp(g(z)) ( 1 + a_1 z)(1 + a_2 z) ... could be wrong !
The weierstrass product form could be more complicated !
Is it ?
Similar questions for f(f(z)/exp(z).
Since f(f(z))/exp(z) must be close to 1 for positive real z , it follows it must go to oo for other part of the complex plane.
( its clear from absolute convergeance that f(q z) does not grow faster than f(q) for z nonreal and q a positive real )
I bet this is what sheldon's plots will show us beautifully.
And there is also still carlson's theorem in the game
