	Conway's chained-arrow notation
		Developed by John Conway, it is based on Knuth's up-arrow notation but is even more powerful.
		Where three or more numbers are joined by arrows, the arrows don't act separately but rather the whole chain has to be considered as a unit.
		The chain might be thought of as a function with a variable number of arguments, or as a function whose single argument is an ordered list or vector.

	Conway chained arrow notation
		Conway chained arrow notation is a means of expressing certain extremely large numbers, created by mathematician John Conway.
		A chain of length 3 corresponds to Knuth's up-arrow notation and hyper operators:
		The first rule is the core: A chain of 3 or more elements ending with 2 or higher becomes a chain of the same length with a (usually vastly) increased penultimate element.

	PlanetMath: Conway's chained arrow notation
		Conway's chained arrow notation is a way of writing numbers even larger than those provided by the up arrow notation.
		Note that, as large as it is, it is proceeding towards an eventual final evaluation, as evidenced by the fact that the final number in the chain is getting smaller.
		This is version 5 of Conway's chained arrow notation, born on 2002-08-24, modified 2004-05-10.

	PlanetMath: Knuth's up arrow notation
		Knuth's up arrow noation is a way of writing numbers which would be unwieldy in standard decimal notation.
		"Knuth's up arrow notation" is owned by Henry.
