Graphing Beyond Collatz
In this thesis, we present a simple additive property found in the Collatz Graph. We also discuss the Combined Collatz Graph, as defined in [3], define the Extended Combined Collatz Graph, and discuss these graphs' relation to the Collatz Problem. We prove that all integers appear in the Super …

Graphing theory : new mathematics, design, and the participatory turn
In the 1960s mathematically inclined architects involved with academic research advocated for a shift from the points and lines of geometric shapes to points and lines of another kind - ones representing abstract objects and their relationships. A story of propinquities between architecture and …
