A321131

COMMENTS
This sequence represents the values of the base a such that a^^m, where ^^ indicates tetration or hyper-4 (e.g., 3^^4=3^(3^(3^3))), is characterized by a unitary convergence speed.
64% of the positive integers belong to this list (see A317905).

EXAMPLE
For m = 47, m (mod 25) == 22 and 22^^n has a unitary convergence speed, since A317905(m = 47) = 1 = A317905(m = 22).
