Eventual sign coherence for quivers with frozen vertices

Let QQ be a connected quiver with at least one frozen vertex, and let M\mathbf M be a reduced (weakly) balanced and monotone mutation sequence. Write QM(j)Q^{(j)}_{\mathbf M} for the quiver after the first jj mutations, and call it sign-coherent when its mutable-to-frozen arrow data is sign-coherent. Eventual sign coherence conjecture. There exists TT such that QM(j)Q^{(j)}_{\mathbf M} is sign-coherent for all j>Tj>T. When QQ has one frozen vertex uu, this says that eventually every mutable vertex is adjacent to uu. This is presented as an equivalent fixed-quiver formulation of Gekhtman and Nakanishi's asymptotic sign coherence conjecture. The general assertion remains open, although the paper notes examples of balanced and monotone sequences that never produce an ice fork.
