Hypothesis :

THAT THE LIMIT OF C_N/N
EXIST AND IS INDEPENDENT OF THE NUMBER I START WITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOTE: THE:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARE ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Um, no.

The domain of the log function (I don't care which base) y = log x is
x > 0. Furthermore, log x <= 0 when x <= 1. Finally, log x < x for any
base > 1.

So whatever positive number B_1 you pick, B_2 < B_1, B_3 < B_2, etc.,
until you come to some B_i < 1. Then B_(i+1) < 0 and B_(i+2) does not
exist.

The ratio B_i/i is not independent of B_1. A small change in B_1 will
produce a small change in all the subsequent B's without changing the value of i. Therefore there will be a small change in C_i.

There is no "limit of C_N/N" because C_N is not defined for N > i.
