The integral conformal circuit decomposition conjecture

Let WaaW a a be a rational linear subspace. For zaaaWZnz a a a W\cap\mathbb{Z}^n, a conformal circuit decomposition is a representation of zz as a \sum of conformal circuit vectors. A vector is 1/κ˙W1/\dot\kappa_W-integral when its coordinates lie in (1/κ˙W)Z(1/\dot\kappa_W)\mathbb{Z}. Integral conformal circuit decomposition conjecture. For every zWZnz\in W\cap\mathbb{Z}^n, there exists a conformal circuit decomposition

z=k=1hgk,z=\sum_{k=1}^h g^k,

with hnh\le n, such that every gkg^k is a 1/κ˙W1/\dot\kappa_W-integral vector in the set of elementary vectors F(W)\mathcal F(W). The conjecture generalizes the stated integer decomposition property for the case κW=κ˙W=1\kappa_W=\dot\kappa_W=1; the source also notes an equivalent formulation for vectors in the Graver basis, but gives no resolution status.
