The weak closure property for matroids over hyperfields

Let FF be a hyperfield and let M\mathcal{M} be an FF-matroid with vector set V(M)\mathcal{V}^*(\mathcal{M}). The Weak Closure Property is the assertion that, for all X,YV(M)X,Y\in \mathcal{V}^*(\mathcal{M}), one has

(XY)V(M).(X\boxplus Y)\cap \mathcal{V}^*(\mathcal{M})\neq \emptyset.

Weak Closure Property. The Weak Closure Property holds for all matroids over hyperfields. This would characterize a broad class of tract-like coefficient systems for which vector sets retain a weak form of additive closure; the supplied text does not indicate whether the assertion is proved or remains open.
