Suppose that S is a set of real numbers. An S-power-tower, t, is a number t = x(1)^x(2)^...^x(k), where k >= 1 and x(i) is in S for i = 1..k. We represent t by (x(1), x(2), ..., x(k)), which for k > 1 is defined as (x(1), (x(2), ..., x(k))); (2,3,2) means 2^9. The number k is the *height* of t. If every element of S exceeds 1 and all the power towers are ranked in increasing order, the position of each in the resulting sequence is its *rank*.
In the following guide, "tower" means "power-tower", and t(n) denotes the n-th {2,3}-tower, represented as (x(1), x(2), ..., x(k)).
A299229: sequence of all {2,3}-towers, ranked, concatenated
A299230: a(n) = height of t(n)
A299231: all n such that t(n) has x(1) = 2
A299232: all n such that t(n) has x(1) = 3
A299233: all n such that t(n) has x(k) = 2
A299234: all n such that t(n) has x(k) = 3
A299235: a(n) = number of 2's in t(n)
A299236: a(n) = number of 3's in t(n)
A299237: a(n) = m satisfying t(m) = reversal of t(n)
A299238; a(n) = m satisfying t(m) = 5 - t(n)
A299239: all n such that t(n) is a palindrome
A299240: ranks of all t[n] in which #2's > #3's
A299241: ranks of all t[n] in which #2's = #3's
A299242: ranks of all t[n] in which #2's < #3's
A299322: ranks of t[n] in which the 2's and 3's alternate
Rectangular arrays:
A299323: row n shows ranks of towers in which #2's = n
A299324: row n shows ranks of towers in which #3's = n
A299325: row n shows ranks of towers that start with n 2's
A299326: row n shows ranks of towers that start with n 3's
A299327: row n shows ranks of towers having maximal runlength n
