Topological non-equivalence conjecture for independent dense-phase embeddings

From papers

Let XS2\mathbb{X}\subset\mathbb{S}^2 be the embedded random surface, and let X\mathbb{X}' be an independent copy of X\mathbb{X}. A neighborhood of X\mathbb{X} means a neighborhood of this embedded subset in S2\mathbb{S}^2. Topological non-equivalence conjecture. Almost surely, no two neighborhoods of X\mathbb{X} and X\mathbb{X}' can be mapped to each other by a homeomorphism of S2\mathbb{S}^2. This conjecture expresses the expected randomness of the topology of the embedding in the dense case and is motivated by analogous questions for SLE random fractals and planar Brownian motion; the source gives a heuristic argument but no proof or resolution.
