collatz-epistemology: Stability diagnostics for the Collatz map
Abstract
This repository provides reproducible numerical diagnostics supporting the paper “An Epistemological Reformulation of the Collatz Problem”. The code generates stability metrics and figures comparing the volatility of the stateobservable n_k with the stability of derived, coarse-grained observables such asblock-averaged logarithmic drift. The numerical experiments are intended as epistemological diagnostics and do notconstitute a proof of the Collatz conjecture. Contents include:- Python script used to generate all figures- Computed stability metrics (CSV)- Figures appearing in the manuscript All results are fully reproducible.
