This happens because when you decode it for, say, parameter n2, you use the second element of the fundamental sequence for epsilon naught, which is just omega power omega. But is there a way to define it for all recursive ordinals. This post belongs to my web popularity of bible books series. Like its name suggests, it grows much slower than its cousins the fast growing hierarchy and the hardy hierarchy. As the definitions of fish numbers are available only in japanese, the author translated them into english.

The fastgrowing hierarchy is a hierarchy of functions based on the ordinal numbers. Due to its simple and clear definition, as well as its origins in professional mathematics, fgh is a popular benchmark for large number functions. The fgh is based on fast growing functions with the slowest function at the bottom. They are grouped roughly by what theories are expected to prove them total recursive, and individual functions are also compared to the fast growing hierarchy.
