Collatz page needs update, loop proven impossible

Someone should update the Collatz Conjecture page, a proof has been proven impossible. An inequality makes a loop impossible, the final descent from 3x+1/2^n to 3X (where X Is the initial X) can only be a 12n-5. The net value of all ascents minus all descents between the 1st 3X+1 and final 3x must be the same value, a 12n-5, for a loop but it can't be, it can only be a 12n-1,12n+1,12n+3,12n-3 or 12n+5, it can't be a 12n-5. This 9 minute video explains it step by step using simple logical deduction. youtu dot be/O_oRnFuRfRM Sean g 2001:BB6:1A0E:9E58:2D84:F0F:4025:87CE (talk) 08:49, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
