Hyperbolic cuttoff

The -1 slope seems to be what is wanted on the high-complexity side;
and arctan(-1) is -pi/4. If I take a -pi/3 from that, I get a slope
for the line at and angle of 120 degrees, which is tan(-5pi/12) =
-2-sqrt(3) = -3.732 which should do nicely as a high-complexity
cuttoff. A hyperbola in the loglog plane suggests itself, and I'll
find out what list I can get in this way if it won't violate some
sacred principle--in other words, if there is any interest, and minds
are still open.
