The artcle makes a weird use of the notation for successive exponentiations. It's difficult to represent the concept here as only text is allowed, but shortly the author uses a^b^c to mean (a^b)^c. This is counter intuitive as in most mathematical contexts exponentiation is right-associative, that is a^b^c means a^(b^c). A pair of parentheses would remove any doubts!
