The vanishing proportion conjecture for magic n3n_3-configurations

From papers

An n3n_3-configuration is a 33-uniform configuration with nn points and nn lines, in which every point lies on three lines and every line contains three points. Call such a configuration magic over an abelian group if its incidence matrix admits a labeling by elements of the group satisfying the magic condition on every line. Vanishing proportion conjecture.

limn# of n3-configs magic over some group# of n3-configs0.\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{\text{\# of $n_3$-configs magic over some group}}{\text{\# of $n_3$-configs}} \to 0.

The conjecture is suggested by computations for the known complete lists of n3n_3-configurations with 7n147\leq n\leq 14 and by the increasing prevalence of forbidden substructures, including collections of parallel lines, as nn grows.
