Okay, before anyone else wastes time on this:
I forgot the factorial, you’ll need to add a
! or !@] or something. That doesn’t do it yet.
I’ll try to find a correct phrasing first.
What I still find puzzling is that changing
the alt sign (* _1 ^ >:) (applied to # of a
list growing with the iterations) to replacing
+/ by -/ gave different results.
But let’s see if that still holds once I get
the sequence right.

While I don't have a specific explanation (I have not looked closely
enough), I was somewhat bemused by the consequences of executing:
NXT1=: 4 : 'x nxt1 y [ echo x;y'
PS1=: 0 +/@:((NXT1 ,^:(0 ~: [) ])^:_)~ ]
(PS1 - ^.@>:)"0 % 2^>:i.5
Sums of alternating signed floating point numbers of similar magnitude
have a tendency to lose precision. (And, values in the range of 1e_323
also tend to run into issues, if that matters.)
Take care,
