Mutation invariance of unrestricted red size

Let QQ be a quiver and let μk(Q)\mu_k(Q) denote the quiver obtained by mutation at vertex kk. The unrestricted red size uRed(Q)\operatorname{uRed}(Q) is the minimum red size over general reddening sequences of QQ. Mutation-invariance conjecture. The unrestricted red size is mutation invariant:

uRed(Q)=uRed(μk(Q))\operatorname{uRed}(Q)=\operatorname{uRed}(\mu_k(Q))

for any kk. This conjecture concerns the potential mutation invariance of the unrestricted red number; unlike the unrestricted red size, the existence of a maximal green sequence is not mutation invariant.
