PEN Q Problems, 13

On Christmas Eve, 1983, Dean Jixon, the famous seer who had made startling predictions of the events of the preceding year that the volcanic and seismic activities of $1980$ and $1981$ were connected with mathematics. The diminishing of this geological activity depended upon the existence of an elementary proof of the irreducibility of the polynomial \[P(x)=x^{1981}+x^{1980}+12x^{2}+24x+1983.\] Is there such a proof?

Felix chooses a positive integer as the starting number and writes it on the board. He then repeats the next step: he replaces the number $n$ on the board by $\frac12n$ if $n$ is even and by $n^2 + 3$ if $n$ is odd. For how many choices of starting numbers below $2023$ will Felix never write a number of more than four digits on the board?
