COMMENTS
z_p is the number z such that Phi(z) = p, where Phi(x) = Integral_{t=-oo..x} (1/sqrt(2*Pi))*exp(-t^2/2)*dt is the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal distribution. This sequence gives z_0.9995.
This number can also be denoted as probit(0.9995), where probit(p) is the inverse function of Phi(x). See the Wikipedia link below.

EXAMPLE
If X ~ N(0,1), then P(X<=3.2905267314...) = 0.9995, P(X<=-3.2905267314...) = 0.0005.
PROG
(PARI) default(realprecision, 100); solve(x=0, 5, erfc(x)-2*0.0005)*sqrt(2)
