I've just proved the collatz conjecture using a system I invented, and then I proved the system is consistent.

What should I do with this? This means new maths is born.

The Collatz Conjecture is as follows: Input a whole, positive, non-zero number. If it is odd, multiply it by two, and add one. If it is even, divide by two. Repeat the two steps above and you will eventually reach one. It's been tried and tried again to find any number that doesn't work, but to no avail. How have you "proven" it?

If you proved something important, write it to an university.

Yes I proved it by defining a custom structure and proving the structure exists. How? Haha. You will see it in the following months. For now, i need to define the properties for the structure. Apart from that, I proved that every set that contains 2 or more elements can be said structure. And that for every group of 2 or more elements is of said structure. This is BIG. I just wanted to share it with you fellow sololearners.

You share half. You basically say: "Look, I'm so cool." Btw who cares if this is proven? How can you apply that in practice?

I proved using this system that if you have a random list of all natural numbers, it is actually posible to sort them when you are only allowed to interchange the position of two elements. It will take an infinite amount of time, but it is posible. I say it again, this is big.

How is an inefficient sorting function big?
