In the 5-th iterated d-sequence the first term different from the fixed point 2 appears at n=5040. The 6th and further iterated sequences have very long initial segment of 2's. In the 6th one the first non-stationary term is a(293318625600)=3. In such sequences any large value occurs infinite many times and constructible. %C A036453 Differs from A007395 for n=1, 5040, 7920, 8400, 9360, 10080, 10800 etc. [From R. J.
