The 3x+1 function T is defined on the positive integers by $T(x) =\frac{3x+1}{2}$ for x odd and $T(x) = \frac{x}{2}$ for x even. The function Thas a natural extension to the 2-adic integers, and there is a continuousfunction $\Phi$ which conjugates T to the 2-adic shift map $\sigma$. Bernsteinand Lagarias conjectured that -1 and 1/3 are the only odd fixed points of$\Phi$. In this paper we investigate periodicity associated with $\Phi$, aproperty of the map which is a natural extention of solenoidality. We use it toshow that there are nontrivial infinite families of 2-adics that are not fixedpoints of $\Phi$. In particular, we prove that three sequences of farPoints of2-adic integers are finitely pseudoperiodic, providing more evidence supportingthe $\Phi$ Fixed Point Conjecture.
