A Conjecture on the Collatz-Kakutani Path Length for the Mersenne Primes — mentioned by Intermernet

On a slight tangent, I recently read a paper on an interesting relationship between Collatz path length and Mersenne primes. "Our main finding to report is the fact that a path length of a Mersenne prime is approximately proportional to its index for large n, namely, D(Mn) ≈ 13.45n." Paper is at https://arxiv.org/pdf/1104.2804.pdf . WARNING: PDF.
