Functional super-iteration and hierarchy of functional hyper-iterations

But before, one should really look at integer functions where your definition is unambigous. I am not especially aware that someone defined/used such a construct. If so I guess it belongs to recursion theory, like the Ackermann function.

But as Andrew mentioned: As soon we get a parabolic fixed point, this fixed point stays forever. That means you can do regular iteration there and have even an analytic hierarchy.
