Solvable-filtration converse for associated derivatives

From papers

Let KK be a knot, let JJ be a derivative associated to an (n+1)(n+1)-solution for KK, where nn is a non-negative integer or half-integer, and let ΔK(t)\Delta_K(t) denote the Alexander polynomial of KK. Solvable-filtration converse. If

KFn+1K\in \mathcal{F}_{n+1}

via an (n+1)(n+1)-solution to which JJ is associated, and ΔK(t)1\Delta_K(t)\neq 1, then

JFn.J\in \mathcal{F}_n.

This conjecture is the solvable-filtration analogue of Kauffman's conjecture. The source states that the same counterexample that disproves Kauffman's conjecture also disproves this formulation.
