Abstract
Despite decades of effort, the Collatz conjecture remains neither proved, nor refuted by a counterexample, nor formally shown to be undecidable. This note introduces the Collatz problem and probes its logical depth with a test question: can the search space for counterexamples be iteratively reduced, and when would it help?
