Fast Growing Hierarchy Calculator |verified| 〈PREMIUM〉
Fast-Growing Hierarchy
To create a calculator for the (FGH), you must implement a recursive system based on an ordinal-indexed family of functions
# Base Case: f_0(n) = n + 1 if alpha == 0: return n + 1 fast growing hierarchy calculator
- f0(n) = n+1
- f1(n) = f0 iterated n times on n = n + n = 2n (verify small n: f1(1)=f0(1)=2, f1(2)=f0(f0(2))=4 -> equals 2n)
- f2(n) = f1 iterated n times on n. Since f1(x)=2x, f2(n)=2^n * n (i.e., multiply by 2 each iteration) — roughly exponential times n.
- f3(n) = iterate f2 n times on n → roughly a tower of exponentials of height n (Ackermannian growth).
- fω(n) = f_n(n) whose growth surpasses any fixed finite level; already for moderate n values this is astronomically large.

- f0(n) = n + 1
- fα+1(n) = fα iterated n times on n (i.e., fα^(n)(n))
- fλ(n) = fλn for limit λ where λ[n] is a fundamental sequence approaching λ
- f_0(2) = 3
- f_1(2) = f_0^(2)(2) = 4
- f_2(2) = f_1^(2)(2) = f_1(f_1(2)) = f_1(4) = 5 → 5 (small)
- f_3(2) ≈ iterated application producing modest numbers
- f_ω(2) equals Ackermann(2,2)-scale — present as "≈ A(2,2) scale" or "tetration-level"
(Note: specific higher examples are symbolic due to extreme growth.)
