SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on a sequence of decreasing values: 1.000000, 0.912606, 0.837875, 0.781625, 0.737125, 0.700875, and 0.670625. Participants agree that the sequence does not follow a clear arithmetic or geometric progression. Instead, they suggest using a best fit strategy for estimation purposes. The need for context regarding the origin of these numbers is emphasized to enhance analysis.

It seems to be neither arithmetic nor geometric. You can estimate it with a best fit strategy if that is good enough. It might help if you could tell us where you are getting these numbers from.
