What is the infinite hyper root of 1000? See details?

{hyper root is an opposite of tetration]

So, unless I am misunderstanding what I read, there is a paradox. [x ^^infinity=c} then [x = c root of c]. but people have pointed out that the [cubed root of 3)^^infinity is more like 2.44 than 3. Why is this?

And I know that the infinite “regular root” of a positive number is always 1. But the infinity “hyper root” of a positive value greater than 1 should NOT be equal to 1.

For x^^infinite=c, the maximum x value is [e^1/e] or 1.4446 

...so would the “ infinite hyperroot of 1000” be something close to 1.445? anyone calculate what it would be?

thanks

    x^(x^(x^(x^....) = 1000

    x^(1000) = 1000

    x = 1000^(1/1000)

    x = 1.006931668851804169929660787266...

    x^(x^(x^(x^(...) = n

    x^n = n

    x = n^(1/n)

    x = 3^(1/3) = 1.4422495703074083823216383107801

    Don't know where you got 2.44 from.

    x = n^(1/n)

    ln(x) = (1/n) * ln(n)

    dx/x = (1/n) * dn/n + ln(n) * (-dn/n^2)

    dx/x = (1/n^2) * (1 - ln(n)) * dn

    dx/dn = x * (1 - ln(n)) / n^2

    dx/dn = 0

    0 = x * (1 - ln(n))

    x = 0

    1 - ln(n) = 0

    1 = ln(n)

    e = n

    So your critical values occur when x = 0 and when n = e
