* BKL conjecture:
In spatially inhomogeneous cosmologies, collapse is dominated by local
Kasner or Mixmaster behavior; 2001, generic Bianchi IX spacetimes converge
towards the Mixmaster attractor; 2016, Almost every Bianchi VIII and IX
vacuum solution forms particle horizons and converges to the Mixmaster
attractor.

type IX solutions is governed by Bianchi type I and II vacuum states.
