Realization conjecture for type 3 flexible 2-lattice colourings

Let GG be a Z2\mathbb{Z}^2-gain graph. A type 3 flexible 2-lattice NBAC-colouring is a NBAC-colouring of the type defined in the source, involving a nonzero αZ2\alpha\in\mathbb{Z}^2 and the stated span and almost-monochromatic-circuit conditions. A full placement-lattice is a placement and full lattice in R2\mathbb{R}^2, and a framework is flexible if it has a nontrivial continuous flex.

Type 3 realization conjecture. If GG has a type 3 flexible 2-lattice NBAC-colouring, then there exists a full placement-lattice (p,L)(p,L) of GG in R2\mathbb{R}^2 such that (G,p,L)(G,p,L) is a flexible full 22-periodic framework.

The paper explicitly identifies this as an open question. It would complete the realization theory for the remaining type of flexible 22-lattice NBAC-colouring.
