Convergence conjecture for eventually periodic 2-adic arguments

Let xZ2x\in\mathbb Z_2 have binary digits xi{0,1}x_i\in\{0,1\}, so that x=i0xi2ix=\sum_{i\ge0}x_i2^i. Suppose that, for some d2d\ge2 and i00i_0\ge0, xi+d=xix_{i+d}=x_i for all ii0i\ge i_0. The eventual-periodicity convergence conjecture. For every ee, the limit

limjP2e+dj+1(x)\lim_{j\to\infty}P_{2^{e+dj}+1}(x)

exists in Z2\mathbb Z_2. This asserts convergence along the residue classes of exponents determined by the eventual binary period, extending the already established convergence for positive integer arguments.
