The 3x+1 problem in terms of the conjugacy map

Let Z+\mathbb Z^+ denote the positive integers, let Z2\mathbb Z_2 be the 2-adic integers, and let QQ be the 3x+1 conjugacy map. The 3x+1 problem. One should have

Q(Z+)13Z,Q\left(\mathbb Z^{+}\right)\subset\frac{1}{3}\mathbb Z,

or equivalently,

Z+Q1(13Z).\mathbb Z^{+}\subset Q^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3}\mathbb Z\right).

This is a reformulation of the original 3x+1 problem through QQ; the supplied status evidence indicates that the related reverse inclusion in the paper's conjectural discussion fails.
