Lexicographic chain decomposition conjecture for fence lattices

From papers

Let F(β)F(\beta) be a fence and let L(β)L(\beta) be its distributive lattice of lower order ideals. For a linear extension of F(β)F(\beta), form the corresponding lexicographic chain decomposition (LCD) of L(β)L(\beta) by repeatedly choosing the lexicographically smallest available ideal of minimum rank and extending it through lexicographically smallest available covers. Lexicographic chain decomposition conjecture. For any β\beta, there is a linear extension of F(β)F(\beta) whose corresponding LCD is an SCD, BCD, or TCD of L(β)L(\beta) consistent with Theorem heavy. If true, this would provide a constructive realization of the chain-decomposition alternative for every fence; the source presents it as an unresolved conjectural inductive phenomenon.
