Nonrepetition conjecture for the suspension-angle derivatives

For the finite layered construction Gn(φ)G_n(\varphi), let φi(φ)\varphi_i(\varphi) denote the suspension angle at layer ii, and let φi(0)\varphi_i'(0) be its derivative at φ=0\varphi=0. Suspension-angle derivative conjecture. The sequence φi(0)\varphi_i'(0) never repeats itself. If true, then sufficiently small nonzero perturbations would make the layer angles distinct and yield a geodesic net whose edges all have weight one. The conjecture is supported by numerical calculations, but remains unproved.
