The Mysterious Pattern I Found Within Prime Factorizations

In this special episode (the longest one I've created yet) let me show you an interesting pattern I recently found, and all of the cool mathematical connections I've been able to deduce about it.... Timestamps of different chapters:
0:00 - My Explorations Into Primeglitching
3:29 - Explanation of the Main Pattern
9:18 - Discoveries Among the First 50 Numbers
14:36 - Discoveries Among Larger Numbers
19:57 - Finding the Other Research About This
27:38 - What I Could Deduce About the General Pattern
32:30 - What I Could Deduce About Fixed Points
42:13 - What I Could Deduce About Two-Number Cycles
50:47 - Ideas for Larger Cycles and General Proofs
55:12 - Extending to Fractions and Square Roots
1:05:22 - Other Forms of Potential Primeglitching

I only came across this pattern about a month ago, so I'm sure I'll realize or deduce other things about it when I return to the problem later. I'll probably investigate this (and other primeglitching patterns) more on my bonus ‪@Domotro‬ channel so make sure you're tuned in there as well.... And if any of you find or prove anything about this concept yourself, leave a comment and/or send me an email at [email protected] (or just write your own paper about it and credit me somewhere!)

Corrections/clarifications:
One of the diagrams shows 48 going to 15 and then 24, but it doesn't actually pass by 15 (48 goes directly to 24).
In an early example, I showed 1050 going to 840 but it really goes to 672 (the general point about it shrinking overall it still true).

Next episode will be the Grade -2 finale! (Before we enter Grade -3 soon). The finale will be like a documentary about making this grade, including lots of interesting behind-the-scenes moments that didn't make it into episodes, among other things...
In the meantime, make sure you've checked out my previous Grade -1 finale/documentary:    • The Grade -1 Documentary  
And here's a playlist of all of Grade -2 so far (in order) if you want to make sure you've seen them all:    • Combo Class: Grade -2 (in chronological or...

In case anybody searches any of these terms, some topics that show up in this episode include: prime numbers, prime factorizations, something I call "primeglitching", the OEIS (Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences), squarefree numbers, powerfree parts of numbers, factors/divisors, extended prime factorizations into rational numbers like fractions as well as some irrational numbers like square roots, natural density, tree-like visualizations of numbers, and much more.

This episode was directed/edited/soundtracked by me (Domotro) and was filmed by Carlo Trappenberg. The visuals of the number trees were designed by Stick.
