Universality conjectures for random knot models

Let KnK_n be a random knot sampled from the Random Jump, Petaluma, or Grid model. Random-knot universality conjectures. The following properties are expected: with high probability KnK_n is prime, and even hyperbolic; with high probability KnK_n is non-alternating; E[c(Kn)]=ω(n)E[c(K_n)]=\omega(n); for every knot KK, P[Kn=K]=eω(n)P[K_n=K]=e^{-\omega(n)}; and every finite type invariant of order mm has typical order of magnitude nmn^m. These are listed as desired features of the models and remain to be established in the supplied context.
