A256179(n) is found by treating the digits of a(n) as power towers. So for example, a(11) = 323, so A256179(11) = 6561 because 3^(2^3) = 6561. - Bob Selcoe, Mar 18 2015
This is a permutation of the list A032810 (numbers having only digits 2 and 3) in the sense that is a list with exactly the same terms but in different order, namely such that the ("power tower") function A256229 yields an increasing sequence. The permutation of the indices is given by A185969, cf. formula. - M. F. Hasler, Mar 21 2015
