The seven-neuron conjecture for locally good codes

A code is locally good if every link of every codeword is contractible. Seven-neuron conjecture. Every locally good code on at most 77 neurons is open convex or closed convex. The paper gives an example on 88 neurons with these local properties that is neither open convex nor closed convex, and asks whether fewer neurons can support such an example; the supplied text does not establish the conjecture's resolution.
