The law of large numbers for the ballistic random walk

Let (Zn)n0(Z_n)_{n\geq 0} be the random walk defined in Section 2, and let P\mathbb{P} denote its probability measure. Law of large numbers conjecture. There exists ΔR2\Delta\in\mathbb{R}^2 such that

P-almost surely,ZnnnΔ.\mathbb{P}\text{-almost surely},\qquad \frac{Z_n}{n}\xrightarrow[n\to\infty]{}\Delta.

This would establish a deterministic asymptotic direction and velocity for the ballistic random walk in the considered two-dimensional random environment. The conjecture is presented as the next step toward a complete law of large numbers, and its resolution is not supplied here.
