COMMENTS
G_0(n) = n. To get to the second term in the row, convert n to hereditary base 2 representation (see links), replace each 2 with a 3, and subtract 1. For the third term, convert the second term (G_1(n)) into hereditary base 3 notation, replace each 3 with a 4, and subtract one. This pattern continues until the sequence converges to 0, which, by Goodstein's Theorem, occurs for all n.
