Typical-orbit conjecture for interval-closed sets of products of two chains

From papers

Fix a positive integer mm. Let r(n)r(n) be the fraction of interval-closed sets of [m]×[n][m]\times[n] that belong to rowmotion orbits of size m+n+1m+n+1. Typical-orbit conjecture. For every positive integer mm, one has

r(n)1as n.r(n)\to 1\quad\text{as }n\to\infty.

This conjecture predicts that although rowmotion on interval-closed sets can have complicated behavior and large order, almost all interval-closed sets lie in orbits of the indicated size as nn grows. The source presents this as supported by experimental evidence and outlines a possible proof strategy, but does not establish it.
