hi all any collatz experts? an apparently very sharp anonymous commenter has posted what looks like some very substantial code revealing a remarkable property... am wondering if it mentioned/ known in the (rather vast) literature somewhere... https://vzn1.wordpress.com/2018/10/03/collatz-fusion/#comment-8023

@Mats any thoughts on the Atiyah Riemann attack? theres 3 great RJLipton blogs on it too... any reactions? vzn1.wordpress.com/2018/09/26/…

@vzn The Todd function seems too simple to say anything about the Riemann zeta function. Concepts like finite vs infinite, or perhaps better, local vs global come to mind. My guess is that the Todd function is more finite and local compared to the Riemann zeta function which is more infinite and global. I can't say anything more.

Also the concepts I said are not very accurate at describing why the Todd function can't work. Too simple is probably the best description.
