In looking at the Collatz Conjecture, I wanted to see what it was actually doing, so I made a diagram/graph of sorts.
It's my own weird way of visualizing it, "from the bottom up." It's more of a specific visualization of the two rules of the conjecture than a perfect 'graph.'
Rather than doing arcs or whatever, I just use a vertical line to the next value on the vertical axis, and then connect to that value on the horizontal axis.
You'll notice that both above and below the horizontal axis are "positive." I could have put both 'n/2' and '3n+1' on the same 'positive/top' side of the horizontal axis, but I thought that would just make it that much more "busy," muddled, and harder to understand what's going on. So, I put 3n+1 transformations on the top, and n/2 transformations on the bottom.
Then I decided to highlight powers of 2 in red (since, if you hit one of those, it's a straight shot down to 1), and prime numbers in green (just to see if anything interesting comes of it).

The structure for the New (unreleased) version of Sonic Heart. It's a lot more simple that the old one, which is what I was going for.

I tweeted to my friend @markury : dreamt you wrote a blog post about me. Had one of your big circle / little circle graphs & it explained that I work too much.
This was the result. Awesome, even with the uppercase "D".

All of this done in the name of science and not having a $2000 duke energy bill for the first three months like last year!
