The level-three and level-four binary-index conjecture for MPVs

Let NN be a level, let L({1}wt1,,tw)L(\{1\}^w\mid t_1,\dots,t_w) denote an MPV of weight ww with all indices equal to 11, and let d(w,N)d(w,N) be the \Q\Q-dimension of the weight-ww MPVs of level NN.

Binary-index conjecture. If N=3N=3 or N=4N=4, every MPV of level NN is a linear combination of MPVs

L({1}wt1,,tw),tj{1,2},L(\{1\}^w\mid t_1,\dots,t_w),\qquad t_j\in\{1,2\},

and consequently

d(w,N)=2wfor all w1.d(w,N)=2^w\qquad\text{for all }w\geq 1.

This gives the expected dimension and a binary-index spanning family at levels three and four; the source says that computations in small weights support it.
