Conjecture on asymptotic stabilization of the two-species regions

From papers

Let R(t)R(t) and B(t)B(t) be the red and blue regions of the two-species competition model, and let S\mathcal{S} be the Richardson-model limit shape. For a subset ZRdZ\subset\mathbb R^d, define

Z^={xRd:dist(x,Z)1/2},\hat{Z}=\{x\in\mathbb R^d:\operatorname{dist}(x,Z)\leq 1/2\},

where distance is measured in the LL^\infty norm, and for s>0s>0 write Z/s={y/s:yZ}Z/s=\{y/s:y\in Z\}. Asymptotic stabilization conjecture. There exist random sets R~\tilde{R} and B~\tilde{B} such that, with probability one,

limtR^(t)/t=R~,\lim_{t\to\infty}\hat{R}(t)/t=\tilde{R}, limtB^(t)/t=B~,\lim_{t\to\infty}\hat{B}(t)/t=\tilde{B},

and

R~B~=S.\tilde{R}\cup\tilde{B}=\mathcal{S}.

The conjecture asserts that the red and blue regions have deterministic-scale limiting shapes whose union is the Richardson limit shape; the source gives simulations as evidence, but does not establish these limits.
