Simpson's motivicity conjecture for perverse sheaves and constructible complexes

Let XX be a complex algebraic variety. Let \CX\C_X be Perv(X,C)Perv(X,\mathbb{C}) or Dcb(X,C)\mathbf{D}^b_c(X,\mathbb{C}), and let S={F}Iso(\CX)S=\{\mathcal{F}\}\subset\operatorname{Iso}(\C_X) consist of one object. A unispace structure on \CX\C_X gives meanings to KK-constructible, KK-closed, and absolute sets. Simpson's generalized motivicity conjecture. The following assertions should hold: (1) SS is KK-constructible if F\mathcal{F} is defined over a subfield KK of C\mathbb{C}; (2) SS is KK-closed if F\mathcal{F} is a semisimple perverse sheaf defined over KK; and, if XX is smooth, (3) SS is absolute C\mathbb{C}-constructible; (4) if F\mathcal{F} is a semisimple perverse sheaf, then SS is absolute C\mathbb{C}-closed; (5) SS is absolute Q\mathbb{Q}-closed if and only if F\mathcal{F} is of mixed-Hodge-module origin; (6) SS is absolute Q\overline{\mathbb{Q}}-closed if and only if F\mathcal{F} is of geometric origin. The difficult parts are (5) and (6); the earlier parts are expected to be approachable using moduli constructions, but the conjecture as a whole remains open.
