Abstract: Special arithmetic series $f(x)=su{m}_{n=0}^{infty}{c}_n{x}^n$, whose coefficients $c_n$ are normally given as certain binomial sums, satisfy "self-replicating" functional identities. For example, the equation ${\displaystyle }$frac1{(1+4z)^2}f�iggl(frac{z}{(1+4z)^3}�iggr)=frac1{(1+2z)^2}f�iggl(frac{z^2}{(1+2z)^3}�iggr)${\displaystyle }$ generates a modular form $f(x)$ of weight 2 and level 7, when a related modular parametrization $x=x(au)$ is properly chosen. In this note we investigate the potential of describing modular forms by such self-replicating equations as well as applications of the equations that do not make use of the modularity. In particular, we outline a new recipe of generating AGM-type algorithms for computing $pi$ and other related constants. Finally, we indicate some possibilities to extend the functional equations to a two-variable setting.
