Improper marginalization birationality conjecture for translation-invariant matrix product states

Let N4N\geq 4. An improper marginalization maps a translation-invariant NN-qubit matrix product state variety OB(2,2,N)\overline{\operatorname{OB}}(2,2,N) to OB(2,2,3)\overline{\operatorname{OB}}(2,2,3) by summing over all but three consecutive indices. Improper marginalization birationality conjecture. A generic NN-qubit state can be recovered from its improper marginalization to any three consecutive states; equivalently, each such map

OB(2,2,N)OB(2,2,3)\overline{\operatorname{OB}}(2,2,N)\to\overline{\operatorname{OB}}(2,2,3)

is a birational equivalence of varieties. The analogous statement for hidden Markov models is known, while this matrix product state version concerns whether the loss of information under improper marginalization is generically insignificant.
