Square-root growth conjecture for ranks of generic six-in-nine distributions

Let HH be a distribution with co-rank ss and rank rr, so that its derived distribution satisfies [H,H]=T[H,H]=T and hence s<r(r1)/2s<r(r-1)/2. Square-root growth conjecture. The minimal possible rank of HH grows as the square root of twice the co-rank; exceptions will remain very rare and may vanish entirely. This is a tentative prediction based on the listed ranks of semisimple 2|2|-graded parabolic geometries; the source does not establish a precise asymptotic statement or resolve whether exceptions eventually disappear.
