Goncharov's five-term relation conjecture for the symbol of I3,1I_{3,1}

From papers

Let V(x,y)V(x,y) denote any version of the five-term relation, and let I3,1(V(x,y),z)I_{3,1}(V(x,y),z) be the corresponding weight-four multiple polylogarithmic expression. Let fj(x,y,z)f_j(x,y,z) be rational functions in the three variables xx, yy, and zz. Write S{\mathcal S} for the symbol map, and interpret the equality modulo products.

Goncharov's conjecture. There are rational functions fj(x,y,z)f_j(x,y,z) such that

S(I3,1(V(x,y),z))=S(jLi4(fj(x,y,z))).{\mathcal S}\big(I_{3,1}(V(x,y),z)\big)={\mathcal S}\bigg(\sum_j \operatorname{Li}_4\big(f_j(x,y,z)\big)\bigg).

The conjecture reformulates Goncharov's expected cohomological vanishing for the weight-four thickened motivic complex and predicts that the relevant I3,1I_{3,1} symbol is expressible using classical 4-logarithms, modulo products. The source gives no evidence of resolution.
