Can anybody explain why there should be a discontinuous bifurcation convergence in values for the function x^x^x^x... (to infinity), beginning at x = (1/e)^e, as x approaches 0 from higher values? It looks like a fork like what you see in a water "gas-liquid-solid" phase diagram, to give you a pictorial idea.

Yes, that's right, it's a forked function. We don't see very many of those, don't we?

Perhaps chaos theory will lead you in the right direction -
butterflies, strange attractors, bifurcations and all that,
which I wish I had the knowledge to apply.
