In Collatz Conjecture's sequence,
f(n)= n/2 ( if n is even)
3n+1 ( if n is odd)
Finally, we reach to the awesome number 1. This is the property of oneness.
The thing i want to say through this note is that, instead of 3n+1, we can also use n+1/2, which we also lead to the awesome number 1.
Comments are appreciated and I want to about this sequence.

The sequence in which f(n)=2n+1 for odd n is strictly decreasing, and will always reach 1.

Thanks @Alex Li for the solution!!!!
Then what about 3n+1 @Alex Li

The actual 3n+1 problem is still unsolved, but it has been tested and verified for all values up to 5.76×1018.

@Alex Li
We can also use n+1
