Let , the hyperoperation. That is
Invented by Jonathan Bowers, the first operator is and it's defined:
The number inside the brackets can change. If it's two
⋮
Thus, we have
⋮
Operators beyond can also be made, the rule of it is the same as hyperoperation:
The next level of operators is , it to
behaves like

.
For every fixed positive integer , there is an operator
with
sets of brackets. The domain of
is
, and the codomain of the operator is
.
Another function means
, where
is the number of sets of brackets. It satisfies that
for all integers

Numbers like TREE(3) are unattainable with Bowers' operators, but Graham's number lies between and
