Canonicity conjecture for the Lee functor on framed link cobordisms

About 18 years old · traced to

Let Cobf/i4{\mathcal Cob}_{f/i}^4 be the quotient of Cobf4{\mathcal Cob}_f^4 by framed movie moves. Assume the chain transformations in the Lee functor construction are made canonical, independently of sign choices. Canonicity conjecture. The functor

FLee⁡∘Kh⁡1,1:Cobf/i4→Kom⁡/±h(Kom⁡/h(Z-mod⁡))\mathcal{F}_{\operatorname{Lee}}\circ\operatorname{Kh}_{1,1}:{\mathcal Cob}_{f/i}^4\rightarrow \operatorname{Kom}_{/\pm h}(\operatorname{Kom}_{/h}(\mathbb{Z}\text{-}\operatorname{mod}))

descends to the quotient by framed movie moves. This would make the Lee-theoretic Khovanov construction invariant under the relevant movie moves, although the source does not establish the required independence of sign choices or the descent.
