The nonchalant-word convergence conjecture

Fix an ordered alphabet An={1,2,,n}\mathbb A_n=\{\mathtt{1,2,\dots,n}\} and let (Ni)(N_i) be the sequence of nonchalant words produced by the recursive square-free greedy procedure.

Nonchalant-word convergence conjecture. The sequence of nonchalant words over An\mathbb A_n converges to an infinite word Nn\mathcal{N}_n for every n3n\geqslant 3.

The paper presents this as a plausible strengthening suggested by experiments; no proof or resolution is supplied.
