There are all kinds of execution variants to the collatz conjecture for when hitting an odd number: $3n+1$ or $3n+3^a$ or $1.5n + 0.5$ or $1.5n + 1.5$... . The assumption is: proving any of them will prove all of them.
I have been experimenting with different executions and stumbled upon the following: if divisible by $3$: divide by $3$, else if divisible by $2$: divide by $2$, else: execute $5n +1$. see results here
It seems to follow the same usual collatz patterns of hitting $1$ eventually, whereas any other variant such as $7n+1$, & $11n +1$... seem to have infinite sequences (never hitting $1$).
My question is:
If the original conjecture ($3n+1$) is proven, will it also prove what I have stumbled upon or will it be a totally different conjecture?
Update: I am well aware of the Collatz patterns for when there are only 2 rules, however in my experiment there are 3 rules and if the third rule is: execute $5n +1$, all sequences seem to collapse all the way to $1$.
