Ladder correspondence for reduced Khovanov complexes

Let (D,P)=τ(D,P)(D',P)=\tau(D,P) be obtained from a connected link diagram with basepoint by component-preserving Conway mutation. Let C~(D)\widetilde{C}(D) denote the reduced Khovanov complex, and let an admissible activity sequence be the sequence associated with a ladder of enhanced states. Reduced ladder conjecture. For every ladder of enhanced states in C~(D)\widetilde{C}(D), the corresponding admissible activity sequence describes a ladder of enhanced states in C~(D)\widetilde{C}(D'). This conjecture is presented as weaker than the full mutation-invariance conjecture, but the source explains that it would imply mutation invariance of reduced Khovanov homology.
