Flatness conjecture for consecutive random polygon subdivisions

From papers

Let LnL_n be the random polygon sequence generated by the consecutive random subdivision, and suppose that u u satisfies

P(ξ{0,1})=0\mathbb{P}(\xi\in\{0,1\})=0

and that the support of ξ\xi contains at least two distinct points in (0,1)(0,1). A sequence of polygons converges to a flat figure when

limnA(Ln)(maxj=1,,dlj(n))2=0,\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{\mathcal{A}(L_n)}{\left(\max_{j=1,\dots,d}\|l_j^{(n)}\|\right)^2}=0,

where A(Ln)\mathcal{A}(L_n) is the area of LnL_n and lj(n)l_j^{(n)} are its side vectors. Flatness conjecture. Under these assumptions, the sequence of polygons LnL_n converges to a flat figure almost surely as nn\to\infty. The paper presents this as the main phenomenon it aims to establish partially; the supplied text gives no resolution status beyond the assertion itself.
