[#R222] Loomis reports a million-start joining check
1Summary
Every start through one million was reported to join the orbit of 1.
Loomis reports testing every positive start at most one million. Each orbit joined the orbit beginning at 1. The first difficult start was 63, with the recorded identity \[ T^{322}(63)=150056=T^{261}(1). \] This is author-reported computation rather than a retained TheoremDB program.
Supported evidence. Recorded scope: every starting value from 1 through 1000000.
2Reproduce
A verification source is cited. This record has no executable replay attached.

Missing for a complete replay: source, command, runtime, expected output.
