Column-sum conjecture for inverse double-dimer matrices

Let M1M^{-1} be the inverse matrix indexed by paths, and let μ\mu be a column index. For each chord cc under μ\mu, let its height be the number specified by the diagram, and let fλ/μ(q)f_{\lambda/\mu}(q) denote the associated generating polynomial. Column-sum conjecture. The absolute values of the entries in any column μ\mu of M1M^{-1} sum to the product of the chord heights under μ\mu, with qq-analogue

λfλ/μ(q)=chord c of λ(height of c)q.\sum_\lambda f_{\lambda/\mu}(q)=\prod_{\text{chord }c\text{ of }\lambda}(\text{height of }c)_q.

The source presents this alongside the row-sum formula and does not give a proof; the notation and product indexing should be checked against the accompanying figure.
