Truncated-Gaussian distribution conjecture for deterministic Brownian motion

Let II be the parameter interval for which the delay equation has no stable steady state or stable periodic solution. For ϕC([1,0],R)\phi\in C([-1,0],\mathbb{R}), let vβ(t;ϕ)v_\beta(t;\phi) solve

dvdt=v+sin(2πβv(t1)),v(t)=ϕ(t)(1t0),\frac{d v}{d t}=-v+\sin(2\pi\beta v(t-1)),\qquad v(t)=\phi(t)\quad(-1\leq t\leq0),

and define

Pβ(z;ϕ)=limT1T0TH(zσ(β;ϕ)vβ(t;ϕ))dt,P_\beta(z;\phi)=\lim_{T\to\infty}\frac{1}{T}\int_0^T H\bigl(z\sigma(\beta;\phi)-v_\beta(t;\phi)\bigr)\,dt,

where HH is the Heaviside step function. Let K0K_0 be the limit of K(β;ϕ)/σ(β;ϕ)K(\beta;\phi)/\sigma(\beta;\phi) as β\beta\to\infty through II, and let p(v;0,1,K0)p(v;0,1,K_0) denote the density defined in the source, truncated at ±K0\pm K_0. Assume ϕ(t)+sin(2πβϕ(t))≢0-\phi(t)+\sin(2\pi\beta\phi(t))\not\equiv0. Truncated-Gaussian distribution conjecture. For every such ϕ\phi and every zRz\in\mathbb{R},

limβIβPβ(z;ϕ)=zp(v;0,1,K0)dv.\lim_{\substack{\beta\in I\beta\to\infty}}P_\beta(z;\phi)=\int_{-\infty}^{z}p(v;0,1,K_0)\,dv.

The claim predicts convergence of the normalized time-series distribution to a Gaussian law truncated according to the universal amplitude ratio; it is stated without a proof.
