Finite-type concordance invariant from the framed Arf trees

Consider the sum of the trees depicted in Figure 8 of the source, associated to 2-component string links, with coefficients in Z/2Z\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z. Framed Arf finite-type conjecture. This sum represents a non-trivial finite type concordance invariant of 2-component string links, with first non-vanishing term over Z/2Z\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z. If true, the invariant has finite type degree 66; finite type concordance invariants of string links through degree 55 are known, while this degree-six case lies at the frontier of the subject.
