Bachmann's bi-bracket reduction conjecture

A bi-bracket is an element of the space BD\mathcal{BD} of bi-brackets, while a mono-bracket is an element of the space MD\mathcal{MD} of mono-brackets. These spaces are generated over Q\mathbb{Q} by their respective brackets.

Bachmann's bi-bracket reduction conjecture. Every bi-bracket can be written as a Q\mathbb{Q}-linear combination of mono-brackets; equivalently,

BD=MD,\mathcal{BD}=\mathcal{MD},

so, in the notation of the source, BD=MDBD=MD.

The conjecture would show that the additional bi-brackets arising from shuffle products introduce no genuinely new elements beyond mono-brackets. It was attributed here to Bachmann; the supplied text gives no evidence that it has been resolved.
