Bachmann's polynomial reformulation of the bracket conjecture

For r1r\geq 1, let Pr(N)\mathcal{P}_r(N) be the set of tuples (m,n)(\mathbf{m},\mathbf{n}) occurring in the coefficient formula for bi-brackets, and let PQ[X1,,Xr,Y1,,Yr]P\in\mathbb{Q}[X_1,\dots,X_r,Y_1,\dots,Y_r]. Set

M:=r+i=1rdegYi(P).M:=r+\sum_{i=1}^r\deg_{Y_i}(P).

Refinement of Bachmann's conjecture. There exist polynomials QjQ[X1,,Xj]Q_j\in\mathbb{Q}[X_1,\dots,X_j], for j1j\geq 1, with Qj0Q_j\equiv 0 for all but finitely many jj, such that for every N1N\geq 1,

(m,n)Pr(N)P(m1,,mr,n1,,nr)=j=1M(m,n)Pj(N)Qj(n1,,nr).\sum_{(\mathbf{m},\mathbf{n})\in\mathcal{P}_r(N)}P(m_1,\dots,m_r,n_1,\dots,n_r)=\sum_{j=1}^{M}\sum_{(\mathbf{m},\mathbf{n})\in\mathcal{P}_j(N)}Q_j(n_1,\dots,n_r).

This is presented as a reformulation of the conjecture that brackets and bi-brackets span the same space, translating that algebraic claim into coefficient identities for arbitrary polynomials. Its status is therefore the same unresolved status as Bachmann's spanning conjecture.
