Multiterm Nestedly Recursive Functions
Recursion relations with a very simple form can lead to surprisingly complex behavior. The recursion is .



The recursion relations are set up so that whenever they sample below , the is taken to have value 1.
Functions like these were mentioned in A New Kind of Science, but first studied in detail in Stephen Wolfram's Live Experiment at the opening of the first NKS Summer School, in June 2003.
