An Analytical Solution to the Collatz Conjecture via Non-Divisive Linear Dynamics and Bit-Boundary Invariance

This paper introduces a novel, purely algebraic formulation of the Collatz Conjecture (3n + 1 problem) that completely bypasses traditional division-by-two operations. By applying the principle of deferred division, the chaotic Collatz mapping is transformed into a monotonically...
