This constant arises from a well-known linear approximation for real height of the tetration x^^x (for x belonging to (1, 2)), where x^^x indicates the tetration of the real base x having the same height (see Links - Wikipedia).

A valuable method to extend tetration to real numbers, and solving equations as the above, has been introduced in 2006 by Hooshmand in his paper "Ultra power and ultra exponential functions" (see Links - Hooshmand).
