Conjectured differentiability and sequence-independence of fluid limits

From papers

Let zz be a fluid limit with initial condition z(0)=xz(0)=x, where x=limnxn/xnx=\lim_n x^n/|x^n|, and let ViV_i denote the neighborhood associated with coordinate ii. The right derivative at 00 is denoted by z(0)z'(0). Differentiability and sequence-independence conjecture. All coordinates of every fluid limit zz have right derivatives at 00, even when there exists ii such that xj=zj(0)=0x_j=z_j(0)=0 for all jVij\in V_i. Moreover, the right derivative z(0)z'(0) depends only on xx and not on the sequence xnx^n. If this holds, then all fluid limits are deterministic functions. The conjecture concerns the behavior and uniqueness of fluid limits at the boundary of the state space; the supplied text gives no resolution.
