%N Decimal expansion of the argument of infinite power tower of i.

%C This c, expressed in radians, equals arg(z), where z is the complex solution of z = i^z or, equivalently, z = i^i^i^... Also, c = atan(A077590/A077589).

%o (PARI) \\ start with I^(0.4+0.4*I) and iterate (%+I^%)/2. It converges pretty rapidly to z.

%Y Cf. A077589 (real part of z), A077590 (imaginary part of z), A212479 (absolute value of z).
