Zero-measure conjecture for the sum of the p=2p=2 value-set closure

Let η(T2)R\eta(\mathcal{T}_2)\subseteq\mathbb{R} be the set associated with parameter 22, let η(T2)\overline{\eta(\mathcal{T}_2)} denote its closure, and let mm denote Lebesgue measure. Define the sumset by

η(T2)+η(T2)={x+y:x,yη(T2)}.\overline{\eta(\mathcal{T}_2)}+\overline{\eta(\mathcal{T}_2)}=\{x+y:x,y\in\overline{\eta(\mathcal{T}_2)}\}.

Zero-measure conjecture.

m(η(T2)+η(T2))=0.m\left(\overline{\eta(\mathcal{T}_2)}+\overline{\eta(\mathcal{T}_2)}\right)=0.

This conjecture is proposed in connection with Palis's conjecture and the paper's preceding no-interior conjecture. Although the supplied status evidence says the nonlinear regular Cantor-set case of Palis's conjecture is proved, it says that the affine self-similar case remains unresolved; no resolution of this specific conjecture is supplied.
