Q: Collatz Conjecture and non-trivial cycles

Martynas RiaukaConsider $$n \rightarrow ... \rightarrow an+b$$ to be a sequence of natural numbers to which we apply $3n+1$ or $\frac{n}{2}$ operations. This sequence is called a cycle, if and only if $an+b=2n$. (one can define it as $an+b=\frac{n-1}{3}$ as well, but it is the same thing, just shifted to other ...

 
Question with little context (and a duplicate) on the HNQ: math.stackexchange.com/q/4416754/42969
I wonder what to do with this question: math.stackexchange.com/q/4416912/42969: OP correctly argues why the zero matrix is a diagonal matrix and then asks whether that is correct or not.

D - almost reopened.
