The escaping-trajectory conjecture for Rauzy-gasket triangle tilings

Let (x1,x2,x3)(x_1,x_2,x_3) be a point in the Rauzy gasket, meaning that x1+x2+x3=1x_1+x_2+x_3=1 and the stated subtraction-and-rescaling algorithm can be applied infinitely many times. Consider the triangle tiling with angles

α=π(1x1)/2,β=π(1x2)/2,γ=π(1x3)/2.\alpha=\pi(1-x_1)/2,\qquad \beta=\pi(1-x_2)/2,\qquad \gamma=\pi(1-x_3)/2.

A trajectory through the circumcenter has parameter τ=π\tau=\pi.

Rauzy-gasket escaping-trajectory conjecture. Every trajectory through the circumcenter is escaping, and trajectories passing increasingly close to the circumcenter, with τπ\tau\to\pi^-, exhibit a fractal structure under rescaling.

The source states that Hubert and Paris-Romaskevich subsequently proved the first assertion and proved that this is the only way to obtain a nonlinearly escaping trajectory. The fractal-rescaling assertion is not resolved in the supplied text.
