If iterations of zeta function converge to the constant A069857 then the ratio of successive imaginary parts of the orbit converge to -c. I.e., let z(n+1) = zeta(z(n)) if lim_{n->oo} z(n) = A069857; then lim_{n->oo} imag(z(n+1))/imag(z(n)) = -0.512....
-c = zeta'(A069857). - Gerald McGarvey, Feb 22 2009
