%N {2,3}-power towers in increasing order, concatenated; see Comments.
%C 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-1)); (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*.
%C 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)).

%e The first twelve {2,3}-power towers, ranked:
%e t(1) = (2)

%e t(3) = (2,2)
%e t(4) = (2,3)
%e t(5) = (3,2)

%e t(10) = (2,3,2)
%e t(11) = (2,3,2)
%e t(12) = (3,3,2)
%e Concatening these towers gives the first 28 terms of the sequence.
