COMMENTS
The T operator numerically summarizes the frequency of digits 0 through 5 in that order when they occur in a number. The numbers and the frequency are written in base 6.
These are all autobiographical numbers in base 6 which lead to a fixed-point or belong to a cycle.
There is one cycle with length 2 (103142132415, 104122232415), all other numbers are fixed-points.

EXAMPLE
10213223 contains one 0, two 1's, three 2's and two 3's, so T(10213223) = 1 0 2 1 3 2 2 3, and this is fixed under T.
103142132415 and 104122232415 belong to the cycle of length 2, so
T(T(103142132415)) = T(1 0 4 1 2 2 2 3 2 4 1 5) = 1 0 3 1 4 2 1 3 2 4 1 5.
