Commutativity conjecture for instanton knot Floer differentials

Suppose KS3K\subset S^3 is a quasi-alternating knot. Let KHI(S3,K)\underline{\operatorname{KHI}}(-S^3,K) be the instanton knot Floer homology group, and let d+d_+ and dd_- be maps on it. The maps shift the grading associated to the Seifert surface by one. Commutativity conjecture for instanton knot Floer differentials. The maps satisfy

d+ddd+,d_+\circ d_-\doteq d_-\circ d_+,

where \doteq means equality up to multiplication by a unit in C\mathbb{C}. This is proposed so that algebraic methods used for quasi-alternating knots can determine the differentials from the Alexander polynomial and signature; the source does not state that the conjecture has been proved.
