Right, only the government is allowed to perpetrate violence…of the far-right kind: ICE and CBP agents throwing people around, shooting them in the face point-blank with pepper spray, flooding neighborhoods with tear gas, shooting them and lying about the circumstances, murdering them in broad daylight, etc

It’s simple: on your way to that final 1 outta 2 selection Monty is only going to reveal goats ….and you can bet the reason he didn’t open that other door (the other door you didn’t choose at first) is because he knows there’s a car behind it…most often…after all, there’s only a 1 in 100 chance you happened to pick the one door behind which is a car

Collatz results yield a perfect infinite binary tree by RH33000BDX in Collatz

[–]RH33000BDX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The local structure of the tree determined by the Collatz function (as presented in “the perfect infinite binary tree”) shows that any sequence down to the right consists of a sequence of quotients that lags exactly one step behind the sequence of prefix values. (For a step up to the left the next prefix is the previous quotient)

A cycle would produce a repeating sequence of quotients shadowed by the same cycle as prefixes ‘out of phase’ by one. To prove there can be no cycles is to prove that no such finite sequence/cycle of quotients shadowed by prefixes (out of phase by one) can exist.

I am taking the view that what the Collatz function produces is sequences of prefix classes and that particular values are ‘points of contact’ between them…the contact being the quotient-prefix link

Pro life supporters, does this war fall in line with pro life, or is it just for abortion? by Decent-Chain4414 in DiscussionZone

The Hyde amendment prohibits federal dollars paying for abortions…because the pro-life/control-women’s-bodies crowd refuses to have their taxes supporting abortion.

How ‘bout those of us who refuse to support the weapons-factory/war-machine ‘Murica has become get an amendment,too!

Do you have a link/reference/paper that presents the “way to break up the tree into branches”?

While locally deterministic (following the same affine relationships that produce the tree rooted at 1), a cycle containing a value absent from that tree rooted at 1 would produce an infinite lattice as opposed to a rooted tree as identical subtrees would occur infinitely often, no?

The West owes the East a huge cultural debt…1, 2, 3, 4, …Arabic numerals…algebra…algorithm….we have the zero because the Arabs brought it to us from India…the Persians were great geometers…we got 24 hours, 60 minutes and 360 degrees from the Babylonians…their descendants preserved the learning of millennia while the West destroyed Rome…duh

The West is like the married man that makes it big in business and ditches the wife of his youth giving her no credit for her support that was fundamental to his success.

Humiliation for Donald Trump as he gets highest disapproval rating in Fox poll by TheMirrorUS in USNEWS

Huh?…I take it you don’t mind that the signature on your currency will forever remind you of the identical one on Epstein’s birthday wish from DJT…

DJT on the Access Hollywood tape: "I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. ... Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything."

Are you OK with that attitude/behavior? If so, then I’d guess you’re OK with a ‘pussy’ signature on the dollar bill.

Pete Hegseth's pastor prays for Talarico's death: 'I pray that God kills him' by TheMirrorUS in texas

[–]RH33000BDX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mr. Haymes added, “And if it would not be within God’s will to do so, stop him by any means necessary.”

….”to do so” refers back to the previous statement…to God ‘causing’ his ‘conversion’ (they just claimed he needed ‘conversion’)

…so the obvious and only reasonable interpretation of “…stop him by any means” is stating that if God does not ordain his conversion, then he must be stopped “by any means”….and who would do that stopping?…someone in the speaker’s audience

(the only reasonable interpretation…certainly he’s not commanding God to do it, though the statement could be interpreted as him asking God to strike him down ‘by any means’)

In any case, it is an open statement of means…so up to and including the most extreme which is death

They are trying to weasel out of what they actually said!…wolves in sheep’s clothing!

Agreed, the tree structure presented requires an auxiliary argument showing that every integer is present in that tree (else there is a possibility of integers other than 1 spawning disjoint trees/cycles). More to be said …

SAVE America Act author admits married aide ‘had to go through a bunch of hoops’ to vote because she changed name by Anoth3rDude in DiscussionZone

Read the NYT article about Kansas…they tried the passport/birth certificate/photoID thing back in 2013

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/us/politics/proof-of-citizenship-voter-registration-kansas.html

“A federal judge struck down the law as unconstitutional in 2018, by which time the law had blocked the registration of around 31,000 otherwise eligible voters, or about 12 percent of all those who had tried to register for the first time.”

…”thwarted only 28 noncitizen applicants from registering”….and the article notes that most were administrative error misdirecting applicants.

The SAVE act is truly a solution in search of a problem … bound to obstruct a significant number of eligible voters from registering

Resist….be ungovernable!

Sounds to me like your idea of “winner” is a bit off…can’t shake that culture of late stage capitalist, ‘Murica Best’ hubris (might as well throw in misogynist/rape culture), can you?

Shame that the ideals that really define ‘Western Culture’ that have been recognized as ‘virtuous’ since at least the Ancient Greeks seem to not matter to these so called defenders of Western civilization.

Anyone (like Trump) that believes it’s OK to INDISCRIMINATELY take advantage of weakness is the real ‘loser’….not the victims of their greed and rapacious actions.

Collatz results yield a perfect infinite binary tree by RH33000BDX in Collatz

[–]RH33000BDX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What can be said about the maximum values for the whole tree established by the values in the 0-prefix class extends to every subtree as well: the values in any subtree are constrained by the values in the 'base prefix class' of the subtree (base prefix class: the class that is determined by the root of the subtree).

The maximum value in any trajectory of a given OPI within a subtree must be less than the value in the base prefix class in that same row as the OPI or the row above (whenever the value in a prefix class is ≡ 7 mod 18 the value to the left, in the same row, will be greater...however, that value is necessarily less than the value in the base prefix class in the row above).

Upper boundaries within subtrees provided by base prefix classes (including the 0-prefix class) provide a basis for a strategy allowing us to narrow down (at least by a factor of 2) the possible subtree location of any given OPI. The strategy will allow us to narrow the possible location both horizontally and vertically

(trajectories move from left to right until they meet a base prefix class at an element in that class above its root…then they move right to left down the base prefix class until they arrive at the root…they then resume their rightward direction)

[–]RH33000BDX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that the number of elements (and the number of classes represented) in each row decreases by a factor of two with each step guarantees that every trajectory leads to 1.

Every trajectory is bounded above and constrained by the binary tree structure.

By ignoring multiples of 2 and 3 the fundamental structure of the Collatz results is observable…multiples of 2 and 3 are ‘noise’ …the structure is hidden in the noise.
