The dimension-function conjecture for restrained structures

Let K\mathbb K be restrained. A dimension function is a function dd assigning to every definable set a number in N{}\mathbb N\cup\{-\infty\} and satisfying the following axioms for definable sets A,BKnA,B\subseteq\mathbb K^n and CKn+1C\subseteq\mathbb K^{n+1}: d(A)=d(A)=-\infty if and only if A=A=\emptyset, d({a})=0d(\{a\})=0 for each aKa\in\mathbb K, and d(K)=1d(\mathbb K)=1; d(AB)=max(d(A),d(B))d(A\cup B)=\max(d(A),d(B)); d(Aσ)=d(A)d(A^\sigma)=d(A) for every permutation σ\sigma of {1,,n}\{1,\dots,n\}; and, for C(i)={xˉKn:d(Cxˉ)=i}C(i)=\{\bar x\in\mathbb K^n:d(C_{\bar x})=i\} with i=0,1i=0,1, each C(i)C(i) is definable and d(C(C(i)×K))=d(C(i))+id\bigl(C\cap(C(i)\times\mathbb K)\bigr)=d(C(i))+i. The dimension-function conjecture. There is such a dimension function dd that coincides with dim\dim on DΣ\mathcal D_\Sigma sets. The source notes that the conjecture is known in several cases, but does not state a general resolution.
