What the fuck does it mean, lads?

Logarithms I bet.
Because log(3n + 1) = log(3) + log(n + 1/3).
And also log(n/2) = log(n) - log(1/2)
Therefore, logarithms.

What's in the picture?
>>8184066
also, that's what the conjecture means, but what generalizations can we pull from this data?
>>8184819
X axis = number
Y axis = iterations until number reaches 0
>>8184066
if it's true
>>8183849
what is so special about this algorithm ? Why could there not be other algorithms that iterate towards 1 or even another number ?
>>8183849
that 5 is primiest prime number.
Try ussing Fourier trasformate.
Prime factorization is irregular with regard to addition
