I don't even know what you think you said.

f(1) = 2.
f(2) = 3.
f(3) = 4.

You seem to be arguing that, therefore, f(1) = 4, because it'd happen eventually.

This is not how functions work.

You still sound totally ridiculous to me. I don't think you understand one of these words. I can't tell which one.

But the sequence of words "the function of the input is always the function of the output" does not mean a fucking thing. It's not even coherent. It's just words strung together.
