The zero-axis conjecture for dual objects of Loosened Collatz cycles

About 5 years old · traced to

Let a satisfying cycle determine its dual object in Euclidean space by interpreting its associated tuple and its bitwise rotations as vertices in Rn\mathbb{R}^n. A vertex is said to be zero on an axis when at least one of its coordinates is 00. Zero-axis conjecture. Excluding the point (2,2,…)(2,2,\ldots), all dual objects of satisfying cycles require their vertices to be 00 on at least one axis. The source presents this as equivalent to the preceding tuple conjecture and gives no resolution, so it remains open.
