Injectivity conjecture for the profinite realization of knots

Let K\mathcal K be the set of isotopy classes of topological oriented knots, and let K^\widehat{\mathcal K} be the set of isotopy classes of profinite knots. The profinite realization map is

h:KK^.h:\mathcal K\to\widehat{\mathcal K}.

Profinite knot realization conjecture. The map hh is injective. This is proposed as a knot-theoretic analogue of residual finiteness for braid groups. If it fails, the Kontsevich invariant would not be a perfect invariant; its status is not resolved in the source.
