The oriented-matroid determination conjecture for polytopal measure cones

Let SS be a finite spanning set, and let MZ(S)\mathfrak M_\mathbb Z(S) be the lattice generated by standard measures of simplices with vertices in SS. Define the rational cone Pos(S)MZ(S)\mathfrak{Pos}(S)\subset\mathfrak M_\mathbb Z(S) as the cone of non-negative linear combinations of the standard measures μP\mu_\mathcal P of all generalized polytopes P\mathcal P whose vertices are contained in SS. Let the oriented matroid associated to SS encode the orientations of the affine dependencies among points of SS. Oriented-matroid determination conjecture. The rational cone Pos(S)\mathfrak{Pos}(S) is uniquely determined by the oriented matroid associated to SS. The supplied text poses this as an open claim about the combinatorial determination of the cone; no resolution is provided.
