Projective-equivalence conjecture for the sixth Terracini locus of a triple Segre variety

About 6 years old · traced to

Let XX be the Segre embedding of P3×P3×P3\mathbb{P}^3\times\mathbb{P}^3\times\mathbb{P}^3 in P63\mathbb{P}^{63}, and let πi:P3×P3×P3→P3\pi_i:\mathbb{P}^3\times\mathbb{P}^3\times\mathbb{P}^3\to\mathbb{P}^3 be the three natural projections. For a subset S⊂XS\subset X of cardinality 66, write πi(S)\pi_i(S) for its image under the ii-th projection.

Projective-equivalence conjecture. The subsets S∈XS\in X of cardinality 66 such that πi(S)\pi_i(S) and πj(S)\pi_j(S) are projectively equivalent, for some fixed i≠ji\neq j, fill a dense open set in the 66-th Terracini locus of XX.

This conjecture describes a dense open part of the Terracini locus for the Segre variety P3×P3×P3\mathbb{P}^3\times\mathbb{P}^3\times\mathbb{P}^3. The surrounding example motivates the claim via families of elliptic normal curves and non-unique decompositions, but the supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been proved or disproved.
