While there is more than one way to interpolate tetrative numbers, there is one unique function in the complex plane which continuously and differentiably satisfies the recurrence relation f(x+1) = x^f(x), which is arguably also, as a subset, the best way to extend it to the reals. The paper says that "the comparison of other solutions to Kneser's solution force it to be the unique solution"<ref name=":0">http://myweb.astate.edu/wpaulsen/tetration2.pdf</ref><ref>[http://myweb.astate.edu/wpaulsen/tetcalc/tetcalc.html Tetration calculator]</ref>.

This is arguably the way to make super-pitch divisions of a given interval. For example, the following table shows 10 super-pitch divisions of the octave <ref name=":0" />:
