The level-4 multiple-polylogarithm conjecture

Let Lin(z)\operatorname{Li}_n(z) denote the polylogarithm of positive integer order nn, and let i=1i=\sqrt{-1}. Let CMZVn2\textsf{CMZV}^{2}_{n} denote the space of cyclotomic multiple zeta values of weight nn and level 22. Level-4 conjecture. For every positive integer n1n\geq 1,

Lin(1+i2)+Lin(1i2)CMZVn2.\operatorname{Li}_n\left(\frac{1+i}{2}\right)+\operatorname{Li}_n\left(\frac{1-i}{2}\right)\in\textsf{CMZV}^{2}_{n}.

This has been verified for n6n\leq 6, while numerical evidence exists for n=7n=7. The verified cases require solving for all level-44 cyclotomic multiple zeta values of the relevant weight, whose number grows exponentially.
