Non-realizable extension of the nonnegativity corollary

Let X=(X,rk){\bf X}=(X,\operatorname{rk}) be a polymatroid, and let H[X]{\mathcal H}[{\bf X}] and P[X]{\mathcal P}[{\bf X}] denote the invariants appearing in Corollary

.Nonrealizableextensionconjecture.Corollary. **Non-realizable extension conjecture.** Corollary

should remain true even when X{\bf X} is a polymatroid that is not realizable. The claim proposes that the three stated nonnegativity assertions for the specializations of H[X]{\mathcal H}[{\bf X}] and P[X]{\mathcal P}[{\bf X}] extend from realizable polymatroids to all polymatroids; no proof or resolution is supplied here.
