Expanding eigenbasis conjecture for recursive eigenvector matrices

Let AA be a matrix of dimension at most 77, and repeatedly construct eigenvector matrices XiX_i whose columns have unit L2\mathbb{L}_2 norm. A matrix property holds for almost all matrices if, for every matrix AA and every ϵ>0\epsilon>0, there is a matrix AA' with A(i,j)A(i,j)<ϵ|A(i,j)-A'(i,j)|<\epsilon having that property. Expanding eigenbasis conjecture. For almost all matrices of dimension at most 77, the recursively constructed matrices satisfy

XiXiIX_i^\dagger X_i\to I

as ii tends to infinity. This conjecture concerns the limiting orthogonality of recursively computed eigenvectors and is supported in the paper by numerical observations and proofs for special cases; no resolution is supplied.
