Extension of the deformed Pachner relation to the 2-to-4 move

A Pachner move is a local bistellar transformation between triangulations; here the relevant 333\to 3 move has associated algebraic relations whose terms may be deformed using xx-chains. Theorems previously established that the modified 333\to 3 relation holds when the xx-chains on both sides arise from the same boundary tetrahedron chain, and that adding a boundary xx-chain does not change either side.

Extension conjecture. The analogues of these two theorems hold also for a 242\to 4 Pachner move.

This would extend the deformation framework from the 333\to 3 move to another four-dimensional Pachner move. The source states the extension without providing a proof or further indication of its status.
