COMMENTS
In C, the unique invariant point of the mapping M(z) = (i+z)^(-i) is not the attractor of the mapping (unstable behavior), but it is an attractor of the modified mapping M'(z) = (z+M(z))/2. For M', it takes 5000 iterations to reduce the value of |z - M'(z)| below 10^(-3400). Interestingly, the imaginary part of z seems to be equal to -1/2 (verified to 5000 digits). If this conjecture holds, and considering the definition, one can symbolically write (i+(i+(i+...)^(-i))^(-i))^(-i) = a - i/2.
