Set kappa_n := A369990(n) / A369991(n) and theta_n := (kappa_n-kappa_{n+1}) / (kappa_{n-1}-kappa_n). Under the hypothesis that theta_{2m} < theta_{2m+2} < theta_{2*m+3} < theta_{2*m+1} for m=1,2,... (verified for all values known so far), we would obtain 0.27887706136895087 < kappa_{21}' < kappa < kappa_{22}' < 0.27887706136898083, which is sharper than formula (3) below. Here, the transformed sequence (kappa_n') = G(kappa_n) is defined via kappa_n' := (kappa_{n-1}*kappa_{n+1} - kappa_n^2) / (kappa_{n-1} - 2*kappa_n + kappa_{n+1}). (See the first arXiv article for a proof of this conjecture-dependent statement.) Feeling even more adventurous, we could apply the transformation G four times and would obtain 0.278877061368975064775 < kappa_{19}'''' < kappa < kappa_{18}'''' < 0.278877061368975064815.

Roland Miyamoto: Added LINK to latest arXiv paper, which establishes the uniqueness of the stribola and its associated constant kappa.

Roland Miyamoto: By refining the conjecture-based "roughly geometric series" argument, we can guess up to 19 digits of kappa. Because we have so far only proved 9 digits rigidly, I thought it helpful to include this experimental, but much better precision.
I erased the old "adventurous" 16 digit guess that I obtained by numerical trapezoid integration two years ago, because its 16th digit 2 seems to have been a numerical artifact, as the geometric series refinement now reveals.
