The bic-III convexity conjecture for the incenter locus

About 5 years old · traced to

Let P1P2P3P_1P_2P_3 be a bic-III family of triangles inscribed in an outer circle C\mathcal{C}, with P1P2P_1P_2 and P1P3P_1P_3 tangent to distinct circles C′\mathcal{C}' and C”\mathcal{C}” in the pencil of C\mathcal{C} and C′\mathcal{C}', and with P2P3P_2P_3 tangent to a third in-pencil circle C”′\mathcal{C}”'. Assume all four in-pencil circles are distinct. The bic-III convexity conjecture. Over the bic-III family, the locus of X1X_1 is a convex curve. Here X1X_1 denotes the incenter. The claim is presented as experimental evidence, and no proof or resolution is supplied.
