Edge-label ratio conjecture for triangular grids

Let T1(k,c)T_1(k,c) be the triangular grid, with kk and cc as in the tail asymptotics conjecture. For indices satisfying the displayed ranges, define the edge-label ratios

r2,1(c,r,d)=r,d,2cr,d,1c,r3,1(c,r,d)=r,d,3cr,d,1c,r_{2,1}(c,r,d)=\frac{\langle r,d,2\rangle_c}{\langle r,d,1\rangle_c},\qquad r_{3,1}(c,r,d)=\frac{\langle r,d,3\rangle_c}{\langle r,d,1\rangle_c},

and

x(c,r)=r,1,1cr1,1,1c,y(r,d)=r,d,1cr,d1,1c.x(c,r)=\frac{\langle r,1,1\rangle_c}{\langle r-1,1,1\rangle_c},\qquad y(r,d)=\frac{\langle r,d,1\rangle_c}{\langle r,d-1,1\rangle_c}.

Edge-label ratio conjecture. For the T1(k,c)T_1(k,c) grid,

r2,1(c,r,d)2(rd)+12d1,1drc,r_{2,1}(c,r,d)\asymp\frac{2(r-d)+1}{2d-1},\qquad 1\le d\le r\le c, r3,1(c,r,d)2(cr)+12d1,1drc,r_{3,1}(c,r,d)\asymp\frac{2(c-r)+1}{2d-1},\qquad 1\le d\le r\le c, x(c,r)r12r12(cr)+3(cr)+1,2rc,x(c,r)\asymp\frac{r-1}{2r-1}\frac{2(c-r)+3}{(c-r)+1},\qquad 2\le r\le c, y(r,d)d12d32(rd)+3(rd)+1,2drc.y(r,d)\asymp\frac{d-1}{2d-3}\frac{2(r-d)+3}{(r-d)+1},\qquad 2\le d\le r\le c.

The conjecture aims to completely describe limiting ratios of certain edge labels as kk grows while cc remains constant. It is motivated by viewing the labels as products of factors with numerators and denominators that are linear functions of at most three variables; the supplied text gives no resolution.
