The projective-dimension-two equality conjecture for Betti-diagram semigroups

Let BNB_{\mathbb N} be the semigroup of virtual Betti diagrams and let BmodB_{\operatorname{mod}} be the semigroup of Betti diagrams of actual modules. A diagram has projective dimension 22 when its associated module has projective dimension 22.

Projective-dimension-two equality conjecture.

BN=BmodB_{\mathbb N}=B_{\operatorname{mod}}

for projective dimension 22 diagrams.

This conjecture asserts that every virtual Betti diagram of projective dimension 22 is realized by a module. The equality is known for projective dimension 11 and for projective dimension 22 level modules, but the general projective-dimension-two case remains open.
