Abstract: In this article, we construct networks of Collatz sequences such that the initial odd terms of these sequences increase monotonically. We also show how the subsequence of odd numbers in a Collatz sequence can be extended backwards, forever. Convergent sequences cannot contain divergent subsequences. Thus, we conclude that the Collatz Conjecture is false.
