Algebraic dependence conjecture for hyperelliptic constants

Let πn\pi_n denote the hyperelliptic constant associated with the index nn. Let nNn\in\mathbb{N} be composite and not a prime power, so that npmn\neq p^m for pPp\in\mathbb{P} and mN0m\in\mathbb{N}_0. Two numbers are Q\overline{\mathbb{Q}}-linearly dependent if they satisfy a nontrivial linear relation with coefficients in Q\overline{\mathbb{Q}}. Algebraic dependence conjecture. There exists a divisor dnd\mid n with 1<d<n1<d<n such that πn\pi_n and πd\pi_d are Q\overline{\mathbb{Q}}-linearly dependent. This asks which hyperelliptic constants are algebraically independent of one another; the source presents the assertion as a suspicion, and no resolution is supplied.
