Single-transition attractor conjecture for Bianchi type VI1/9_{-1/9}

Let A\mathcal{A} denote the attractor describing generic behaviour near the initial singularity, and let K\mathrm{K}^{\circ}, TR1\mathcal{T}_{R_1}, TR3\mathcal{T}_{R_3}, and TN\mathcal{T}_{N_-} denote the Kasner subset and the indicated transition subsets. Single-transition attractor conjecture. The attractor is

A=KTR1TR3TN.\mathcal{A}=\mathrm{K}^{\circ}\cup\mathcal{T}_{R_1}\cup\mathcal{T}_{R_3}\cup\mathcal{T}_{N_-}.

This is the stronger conjecture motivated by numerical evidence that multiple transitions become increasingly rare, so that only single transitions contribute asymptotically; the source also notes supporting analytical and cosmological-billiard arguments, but gives no resolution.
