A shift-extension conjecture for Fibonacci divisibility sums

About 6 years old · traced to

Let FiF_i denote the iith Fibonacci number, and for a positive integer mm write ∑i=1mFi\sum_{i=1}^m F_i for the sum of the first mm Fibonacci numbers. Shift-extension conjecture. For each positive integer tt, there is a positive integer nn such that

n∣∑i=1nFiimpliesn+t∣∑i=1n+tFi.n\mid \sum_{i=1}^n F_i \quad\text{implies}\quad n+t\mid \sum_{i=1}^{n+t} F_i.

This conjecture concerns the distribution of positive integers that divide their corresponding sums of initial Fibonacci numbers. The supplied text gives no resolution or further evidence, so the conjecture remains open.
