Abstract

The convergence of the Collatz-Hasse-Syracuse-Ulam-Kakutani Sequence is proved, thus proving the Collatz Conjecture, which has been an unsolved problem.  The proof is based on the isomorphism established between the set of positive integers and a carefully designed system with a hierarchy (arborescence) of binary exponential ladders defined on the set of positive odd numbers.

Version justification

emphasized the irrelevance of the presence of extraneous objects (unbounded and/or closed chains) in the structured system framework - other than the relevant hierarchy (arborescence) that is isomorphic with the set of natural numbers
