Bowen's f-invariant entropy addition conjecture

Let rNr\in\mathbb N, and let AA, BB, and CC be Z(Fr)Z(F_r)-modules in an exact sequence

0ABC0.0\longrightarrow A\longrightarrow B\longrightarrow C\longrightarrow 0.

Suppose that the actions of FrF_r on (A^,λA^)(\widehat{A},\lambda_{\widehat{A}}), (B^,λB^)(\widehat{B},\lambda_{\widehat{B}}), and (C^,λC^)(\widehat{C},\lambda_{\widehat{C}}) all have finite generating partitions. Bowen's f-invariant entropy addition conjecture. Then

fλB^(B^,Fr)=fλA^(A^,Fr)+fλC^(C^,Fr).f_{\lambda_{\widehat{B}}}(\widehat{B},F_r)=f_{\lambda_{\widehat{A}}}(\widehat{A},F_r)+f_{\lambda_{\widehat{C}}}(\widehat{C},F_r).

This is the proposed opposite behavior to the preceding non-additivity conjecture: under the stated finite-generation hypotheses, Bowen's ff-invariant entropy should satisfy an addition formula. The source further suggests an analogous statement for random sofic entropy.
