Hierarchy mixing threshold conjecture for modular Ackermann maps

From papers

For powers-of-two moduli 2k2^k, consider the modular Ackermann map A2k(m,n)A_{2^k}(m,n) and its output distribution on Z2k\mathbb Z_{2^k} as the recursion level mm varies. Hierarchy mixing threshold conjecture. Based on numerical evidence, level m=4m=4 appears to be the first Ackermann level for which A2k(m,n)A_{2^k}(m,n) exhibits near-uniform distribution over Z2k\mathbb Z_{2^k}. The experiments indicate a qualitative transition between m=3m=3, which retains strong arithmetic structure modulo 2k2^k, and m4m\ge4, which exhibits substantially stronger mixing; formal verification remains open.
