Vanishing probability conjecture for fixed knots in the Chebyshev billiard model

Let T(3,n+1)T(3,n+1) be the random knot model obtained from Chebyshev billiard table diagrams, and let P(TK(n))P(T^{(n)}_K) denote the probability that the resulting diagram represents a fixed knot KK. Vanishing probability conjecture. The probability

P(TK(n))P(T^{(n)}_K)

of obtaining KK in the model T(3,n+1)T(3,n+1) goes to 00 as nn approaches infinity. This is conjectured from numerical computations because no closed formula for P(TK(n))P(T^{(n)}_K) is available; the claim concerns the asymptotic behavior of each fixed knot in this random model.
