Safe-gluing decomposition for chordal DAGs with toric vanishing ideals

Assume the higher d-separation conjecture: whenever two vertices of a DAG have minimum d-separating-set size at least 22, the vanishing ideal is not toric. Let GG be a chordal directed acyclic graph (DAG) with toric vanishing ideal. A safe gluing combines two DAGs along an NN-clique under the safe-gluing conditions. Chordal safe-gluing decomposition conjecture. There exist DAGs G1G_1 and G2G_2 with toric vanishing ideals such that GG can be obtained by safely gluing G1G_1 and G2G_2 at an NN-clique. This conditional conjecture would provide a decomposition of chordal toric DAGs into smaller toric pieces; it remains open because it depends on the higher d-separation conjecture.
