Do you see how such an iteration can produce the long-distance correlations I mention in a message below, between floats at positions that differ by a factor of 2/e? It seems that this would require some explicit dependence on the index.
Its not exactly 2/e. Here is a plot of the “error” of those points. The x axis is the larger point. The y axis is the smaller point minus 2/e times the larger.
So its within about 1% of 2/e, suggesting it might be a real thing, or might just be a coincidence.
