Positivity conjecture for simple VOAs generated by sigma-type Ising vectors

Let VV be a simple VOA satisfying the paper's Conditions 1, let EVE_V be the set of Ising vectors of VV of σ\sigma-type, and let GV=σeeEVG_V=\langle \sigma_e\mid e\in E_V\rangle. The real Matsuo algebra associated with GVG_V is denoted by B1/2,1/2(GV)RB_{1/2,1/2}(G_V)_{\mathbb{R}}. Positivity conjecture. The bilinear form on the R\mathbb{R}-span of EVE_V is positive definite; equivalently, the non-degenerate quotient of B1/2,1/2(GV)RB_{1/2,1/2}(G_V)_{\mathbb{R}} is positive definite. This positivity would imply, by the preceding corollary, that the real VOA generated by EVE_V is a compact real form and that the relevant 3-transposition groups occur in Matsuo's list. The source gives no resolution.
