Project dossier
Collatz Reverse Tree Visualizer
An interactive visualizer for exploring the cycle-pruned reverse Collatz tree with adjustable depth, trajectory highlighting, and dual coordinate views.
Project overview
Collatz Reverse Tree Visualizer starts from 1 and builds the reverse Collatz tree so users can see which numbers can flow back to 1. It removes the 1–4–2 root cycle, lets users choose depth, switch between integer and n = 6m + k labels, and click a node to see its forward path. The new website adds a simple explanation and interactive demo, while the project remains a tested computational visualization rather than a proof of the conjecture.
Skills developed
Graph construction, algorithmic reasoning, coordinate representation, automated testing, and explaining the boundary between visualization and proof.
