Three-term non-cluster criterion for web invariants

Let zz be an indecomposable web invariant and let zz' be a cluster variable satisfying a three-term relation

zz=M1+M2.zz'=M_1+M_2.

Suppose that M1M_1, M2M_2, zM1z'M_1, and zM2z'M_2 are web invariants, whereas zM1zM_1 and zM2zM_2 are not.

Three-term non-cluster conjecture. Then zz is not a cluster variable.

This is intended as a conjectural test that disqualifies a web invariant from being a cluster variable. The source stresses that the conditions on zM1z'M_1 and zM2z'M_2 are necessary, but gives no resolution.
