Full box-dimension conjecture for alpha-beta sequences

Let α\alpha and β\beta be real numbers such that 1,α,β1,\alpha,\beta are independent over the field of rational numbers. An αβ\alpha\beta-sequence is a sequence {xn}n1\{x_n\}_{n\geq 1} with x1=0x_1=0 such that, for each i1i\geq 1, one may choose freely between xi+1=xi+αmod1x_{i+1}=x_i+\alpha\mod 1 and xi+1=xi+βmod1x_{i+1}=x_i+\beta\mod 1. Full box-dimension conjecture. Every αβ\alpha\beta-sequence has full box dimension. The supplied text gives no resolution of this problem; its significance is that it asks whether the rational independence of the two increments forces every permitted deterministic path to have maximal box dimension.
