Characteristic-two dimension conjecture for 1-star-spec matrix spaces

Let K\mathbb{K} be a field of characteristic 22 with more than 22 elements, and let V\mathcal{V} be a 11^\star-spec subspace of Mn(K)\operatorname{M}_n(\mathbb{K}). Characteristic-two 1-star-spec dimension conjecture. Then

dimV(n2)+2.\dim \mathcal{V}\leq \binom{n}{2}+2.

For fields of characteristic different from 22, the paper proves the smaller bound (n2)+1\binom{n}{2}+1, and the characteristic-two example discussed immediately before the conjecture shows why an additional dimension is allowed. The assertion remains open in the stated characteristic-two setting.
