Mean-square consistency for Gaussian stationary processes

From papers

Let XX be a Gaussian stationary process with covariance function RXRX, and let SJ[PJ]XS_J[\mathcal P_J]X denote its windowed scattering transform over the path set PJ\mathcal P_J. It is a mean-square consistent estimator of SX\overline S X when

limJE(SJ[PJ]XSJX2)=0.\lim_{J\rightarrow\infty}E\left(\left\|S_J[\mathcal P_J]X-\overline S_JX\right\|^2\right)=0.

Gaussian consistency conjecture. If XX is a Gaussian stationary process with RX1<\|RX\|_1<\infty, then SJ[PJ]XS_J[\mathcal P_J]X is a mean-square consistent estimator of SX\overline S X. Mean-square consistency implies convergence in probability and almost-sure convergence as stated in the source, while the supplied passage reports numerical observations for a large class of ergodic processes rather than a proof of this Gaussian-process claim.
