The Peano-circle conjecture for zippers

Let MM be a hyperbolic 3-manifold, let Z±Z^\pm be a zipper or P-zipper for MM, and let Suniv1S^1_{\mathrm{univ}} be its universal circle. The group π1(M)\pi_1(M) acts on Suniv1S^1_{\mathrm{univ}}. The Peano-circle conjecture. There is a continuous π1(M)\pi_1(M)-equivariant surjection

Suniv1S2.S^1_{\mathrm{univ}}\longrightarrow S^2_\infty.

Such a map would generalize the known Peano curves associated with universal circles from several existing constructions, including surface bundles and certain flows, and is proposed for arbitrary zippers.
