The 2m diagrams attain the lower trefoil and upper unknot bounds

Let a free 2m2m diagram denote the free closure of the 2m2m-tangle referred to in the source. A free diagram with mm crossings is considered sufficiently complicated as in the source. 2m2m-diagram bound conjecture. The free 2m2m diagram realizes the lower bound on trefoils and the upper bound on unknots for all sufficiently complicated free diagrams with mm crossings. The claim is one of the source's computationally motivated proposed bounds; the source gives no proof or resolution.
