Integration conjecture for generalized virtual-knot theories

Consider virtual-knot theories with skeleton equal to a circle (round), a line (long), or a line with all real crossings descending; with R2 and R3 treated in the standard, braid-like, or R2-only way; and with or without R1. In each theory, finite type invariants are defined by the virtual-knot difference relation, and a degree nn weight system is a weight system of degree nn for the corresponding arrow-diagram theory. Generalized virtual-knot integration conjecture. For each of these choices and every natural number nn, every degree nn weight system comes from a type nn invariant. The assertion asks whether integration holds simultaneously for the 18 virtual-knot theories obtained from the listed choices. The surrounding text presents it as a broad question across these variants; the supplied material gives no proof or resolution.
