An inquiry....

I was pushing around numbers the other day and was curious about the
possibilities of using such processes as x to the power of y to the power z
(what is this called in the math world by the way?) -- an example:B 5^3^0 (5^1)
5^3^1 (5^3)5^3^2 (5^9)5^3^3 (5^27)5^3^4 (5^81)5^3^5 (5^243)B This little
sequence gives rise to a set of pitches at approx. cents:B 386 - 1159 - 1077 -
830 - 91 - 274B Has anyone explored this in more detail?B There is obviously
some sort of deep logic to this method..... just wondering how far its been
explored....B Paul
