Cantor-set conjecture for orderings of free groups

From papers

Let FnF_n be the free group on n>1n>1 generators. Write LO(Fn)LO(F_n) for the space of left-orderings of FnF_n and BiO(Fn)BiO(F_n) for the space of bi-orderings, each with the topology inherited from the space of orderings. Cantor-set conjecture. The spaces LO(Fn)LO(F_n) and BiO(Fn)BiO(F_n) are homeomorphic to the Cantor set. This predicts that both ordering spaces have the same standard compact, perfect, totally disconnected topology; the supplied text gives no resolution of the claim.
