The non-occurrence of ζ(2)\zeta(2) as a ϕ4\phi^4 period

Let Pϕ4\mathcal{P}_{\phi^4} denote the space of ϕ4\phi^4 periods and let ζ(2)\zeta(2) be the Riemann zeta value at 22. Non-occurrence conjecture.

ζ(2)Pϕ4.\zeta(2)\notin\mathcal{P}_{\phi^4}.

No ϕ4\phi^4 graph is known to evaluate to ζ(2)\zeta(2); the stronger expectation involving logarithmic and generalized Feynman periods is stated separately in the source.
