FORMULA
The twin prime pairs 3,5,5,7,11,13,17,19... are concatenated and then preceded by a decimal point to create the fraction N = .3557111317192931... This number is then evaluated with n=0,m=steps to iterate,x = N, a(0)=floor(N) using the loop: do a(n)=floor(x) x=1/(x-a(n)) n=n+1 loop until n=m
