Characterizing the Set Elements in the Abstract Predecessor Tree
-- all are unique, thus avoiding loops
-- integer solution of eqn 2 for Tp(n)=n yields n=1,
i=2, thus excluding a forest of trees
-- would like to determine the tree's contents (to see if
all integers are present)
-- would like a description characterizing each set
-- use {dn+c} as the expression characterizing {Tp} subsets
-- {dn+c} is equivalent to Tp in { c[d] }
-- extensions are {8n+5}, i.e. the odd integers in {5[8]}
