The completion-invariance conjecture for the graph invariant c2c_2

Let GG be a primitive-divergent graph in ϕ4\phi^4 theory, and let c2(G)c_2(G) denote its graph invariant. The completion relation identifies graphs whose completions are isomorphic; write G1G2G_1\sim G_2 for this relation. Completion-invariance conjecture. The invariant c2(G)c_2(G) is invariant under the completion relation:

G1G2c2(G1)=c2(G2).G_1\sim G_2\Longrightarrow c_2(G_1)=c_2(G_2).

The invariant c2(G)c_2(G) is introduced through point counts of graph hypersurfaces modulo powers of qq and is more tractable than the full Grothendieck class. The source presents completion invariance as conjectural and cites work relating it to Feynman periods.
