The Type A symmetric-binary-matrix coefficient conjecture

From papers

Let AN\mathcal{A}_N be the set of symmetric binary N×NN\times N matrices with no row sum greater than one. For a=(ai,j)a=(a_{i,j}), define

wt(a)=#{ai,j=1ij}.\operatorname{wt}(a)=\#\{a_{i,j}=1\mid i\leq j\}.

Let SN,iS_{N,i} be the coefficient of QiQ^i in the Type A sum at q=1q=1. Type A matrix conjecture.

SN,i=#{aANwt(a)=i}.S_{N,i}=\#\{a\in\mathcal{A}_N\mid \operatorname{wt}(a)=i\}.

This refines the total-sum enumeration by predicting a weight-preserving interpretation of every coefficient; the source does not provide a proof or resolution.
