Absolute continuity conjecture for directed-geodesic increments

Let Π=Π0,0\Pi=\Pi_{0,0} be the directed geodesic from (0,0)(0,0), and define the increment process

ηt:[0,1/2]R,ηt(s)=Π(t+s)Π(t).\eta_t:[0,1/2]\to\mathbb{R},\qquad \eta_t(s)=\Pi(t+s)-\Pi(t).

For 0t<u<1/20\le t<u<1/2, absolute continuity conjecture. The laws of ηt\eta_t and ηu\eta_u are mutually absolutely continuous if and only if t>0t>0. The source presents this as a conjectural distinction between the beginning of a directed geodesic and later increments, but gives no proof or resolution.
