This sounds quite a bit like a probabilistic version of the Collatz problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture). I thought I'd seen results on this before, but a quick Google result doesn't turn anything up. (Instead, Google results want to discuss probabilistic heuristics for why the deterministic Collatz conjecture holds.)
- jon_richards 9y agoHmm. Thanks for the thought. I'm not sure how related it is, but I might find something in the attempted solutions. The original idea behind this was to figure out how to study the stability of certain probabilistic transformations. The hope was to be able to make transformations that are good at detecting non-random inputs, particularly in time-series data. Could potentially be used in a similar way to neural-nets.
