Seriously?

You need more mathematics training, grasshopper.  Almost all integers
have that property (or all, if you don't halt upon reaching 1).  Not
to mention that your first transformations treat large sets of keys
as identical in a most dreadful manner.

I suggest you go find your nearest public library and read some more
about information theory, number theory, and mathematical logic so
that you can more accurately evaluate the effective salience of
these notions.  Particularly look up properties of arithmetic, basic
properties of functions and relations, the pigeonhole principle, and
the exponential relationship between string length and number of possible
strings, and implications and surrounding theory thereof.  (Too bad I
don't have a more concrete suggested reading list immediately available...)
