Existence and uniqueness of Frobenius-fixed paths in mixed motives

From papers

Let ZZ be as in paragraph A16, let XX be the corresponding variety, and suppose that x,yx,y are ZZ-points of XX. Let sps_\mathfrak{p}^* denote the specialization functor to the category of mixed motives over kk, and let π1un(X,x,y)\pi_1^\mathrm{un}(X,x,y) be the associated unipotent fundamental-group scheme object. The crystalline realization carries paths to de Rham paths, including the Frobenius-fixed de Rham path pCrp^\mathrm{Cr}. Existence and uniqueness conjecture. There exists a unique morphism of affine scheme objects in MM(k)\operatorname{MM}(k)

\mathbbm1spπ1un(X,x,y)\mathbbm{1} \to s_\mathfrak{p}^*\pi_1^\mathrm{un}(X,x,y)

whose crystalline realization maps via the Berthelot isomorphism to the Frobenius-fixed de Rham path pCrp^\mathrm{Cr}. This is the expected extension beyond the mixed Tate setting of the corresponding proven statement in the semisimple mixed Tate category; it depends on the conjectural existence and standard properties of the relevant category of mixed motives and specialization functor.
