✦ Synopsis

In the Collatz problem, certain runs of consecutive integers have the same height. This phenomenon is investigated using an algorithm for reconstructing the trajectory of a number from the parity vector of the number. It is found that pain of consecutive integers of the same height occur infinitely often and in infinitely many different patterns.

We introduce a technical property (P) and use it to show that every M 3 -space with (P) is an M 1space whose every closed subset has a closure-preserving open neighborhood base. We show that every k-M 3 -space has property (P) and is, therefore, an M 1 -space.
