MERW transition conjecture. The unique maximal entropy random walk for the growing pyramidal model depicted by the Kreweras-walk correspondence has transition probabilities
This conjecture identifies the maximal entropy random walk through the unique non-negative harmonic function for the associated Kreweras random walk in the three-quarter plane. The surrounding discussion indicates that the required asymptotics, and hence this characterization, are motivated by known harmonic-function results but does not establish the conjectured transition rule.
