Geometric Drift in Collatz Trajectories: A 2-Adic Valuation Analysis

Novel geometric framework analyzing Collatz conjecture through odd-to-odd transformation ratios. Theoretical prediction: geometric mean = 0.75. Empirical validation: 7,343 numbers tested, 100% show G < 1. Strongest computational evidence to date for universal convergence mechanism. Not a proof, but a path toward one.
