Does the Imaginary Number Power Tower Make Sense? (i^i^i^i^i^i^...)

Seeing if the meaning of the infinite imaginary power tower can be explained in terms of numbers and functions, all the way down to zero.
The infinite imaginary power tower is the result of taking the imaginary number as the power of itself over and over again, in the limit to infinity. It's approximately 0.438 + 0.36i. This video explores what lies behind the infinite power tower rather than the concepts for proving its existence, approximating its value, or relating it to other functions. For example, what is complex exponentiation? What are complex numbers? What are real numbers? What are rational numbers? What are integers? What are natural numbers?

Hi, here is something extra. Does i^i^i^... exist? This is the most important thing that I didn't discuss in the video, and I'll try to explain it like a story. Let F(z) = i^z. (picking principal branch*) F(i) = i^i F(F(i)) = i^i^i F(F(F(i))) = i^i^i^i ...doing this infinitely many times and, if it "zooms in on" a single value, then that single value is what we call the infinite imaginary number power tower: i^i^i^i^i^i^... If we look at the complex plane, and apply F to every single point, then most of those points move. Applying F over and over again will make those points move around over and over again, kind of like a choppy video. There are, however, some special points that don't move at all when we apply F to them, and that means they don't move at all no matter how many times we apply F to them! There are infinitely many of these points (countably infinitely many). They are called the fixed points of F. Now there is one special fixed point of F where, when you apply F over and over again to all the points in the complex plane, a sort of little whirlpool appears around this special fixed point. All the points near it are getting sucked into it like a whirlpool. In fact even points far away from it sometimes end up close enough to it that they too get sucked into it. This special fixed point is approximately equal to 0.438 + 0.36i. It's the only fixed point like this. All the others actually do the opposite: they repel points near them away, like a reverse whirlpool. It so happens that if you start at point i, and then apply F over and over again, that it will end up getting close enough to ~ 0.438 + 0.36i that it ends up getting caught in its whirlpool and sucked into it. That is i^i^i^... The math for how to prove all of this requires some complex analysis. * F(z) = e^(z*i*pi/2)
The Long Line: Longer Than You Think
