What is "fractional N-ation"?

• lifthrasiir 3y ago
  You can regard multiplication as repeated additions, exponentiation as repeated multiplications, tetration as repeated exponentiation and so on. Of course they are not just repeated operations; you've got to define them for negative, fractional and complex operands in a justifiable way as well. Note that those operations also form a sequence, so let's rename addition to 1-ation, ..., tetration to 4-ation (in fact tetra- prefix exactly means this) and so on. Now, what could be 2.5-ation or pi-ation?

    The point being, what's the pi-ation of pi.
