So I did a proof of the Collatz Conjecture, and am wondering if anybody here familiar with the process of getting it published. This place has a lot of experts, and if the proof holds, it would be news in itself.
Proof is here:

It seems you have published this on the Internet.
The Collatz conjecture postulates that for any integer, the following rule set applied
successively to the solution of the previous application, will eventually yield an answer of
one:
-If a number is even, divide by two.
-If the number is odd, triple it and add one
You do not appear to be alone. Here are some more attampts:

Thank you. Typos are always a pain in the but.
Thank you!
Ironically, 2 is the key to the Collatz solution, so I had to remember to carry it.
That is what I am wondering, and partly why I am posting it publicly here.
Thanks for the warning though.
Thank you.
At this point I am wondering if there is a mathematics community online it could go viral among, forcing the machine to look at it critically.
So frustrating to take this to its logical conclusion, and see everyone still saying it can’t be proved, or it is beyond mathematics. The average person with high school algebra could understand the proof.
It is so simple.
Mathematicians are not known for being concise.
“Applied mathematics” is where math is made practical.
If your argument is correct, you already published it.
I hope you don’t mind me saying this but uploading a proof of this without even putting your name on the work invites theft. Someone else may easily rush into publishing this.
and if your proof is actually correct — i did not have time to read it yet — this would be sad.
Technically, I posted to a file sharing site to share it among friends here. It will be pulled after the discussion.
I already submitted it with my name and address to Journal of the American Mathematical Society, who declined it for unknown reasons.
And I do have an identity here, technically, and I gave a copy to a lawyer with email headers and time stamps, so I can prove authorship.
To say nothing of notes and records of the derivations.
If it’s correct, it might be imposible now to stop it from becoming known. It will be mentioned that it was posted at this url.
Definitely not cutting edge math, but if you are not familiar with the “Golden Ratio”
(Also identified by the Greek letter Psi), it is quite interesting. Check out some of the Youtube videos on the subject.
You did right. See my PM. Good luck.
Yes, quite so. 3n+1 problem also leads to a really neat computer science problem....

is there a college near you? somebody in their math dept might be very happy to help you
That is a good idea.
Thank you.
Sheldon Cooper: It wasn’t difficult. You know how when you see prime numbers they appear red but when they’re twin primes they’re pink and smell like gasoline?
SO, I have no idea.......
