Bödigheimer compactification conjecture for unoriented string diagrams

Let SDu\mathcal{SD}^{\mathrm{u}} be the space of unoriented string diagrams, let SDu/\mathcal{SD}^{\mathrm{u}}/\sim be its quotient by the stated equivalence relation, and let H\mathcal{H} be Bödigheimer's harmonic compactification of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with parameterized boundary. Bödigheimer compactification conjecture.

SDu/H.\mathcal{SD}^{\mathrm{u}}/\sim\simeq\mathcal{H}.

The conjecture proposes a compactified string-diagram model for the moduli space and connects the construction to Bödigheimer's harmonic compactification. The source does not report a resolution.
