Properties
- A chain of length 3 corresponds to Knuth's up-arrow notation and hyper operators:
- a chain X → Y is of the form X → p; hence:
- a chain starting with a is a power of a
- a chain 1 → Y is equal to 1
- a chain X → 1 → Y is equal to X
- a chain 2 → 2 → Y is equal to 4
- a chain X → 2 → 2 is equal to X → (X) (chain X with its value concatenated to it)

Famous quotes containing the word properties:
“A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (16321704)
