Charlton's generalized cyclic insertion conjecture

Let Im(0,a1,,ak,1)I^{\mathfrak{m}}(0,a_1,\ldots,a_k,1) denote the motivic iterated integral along the specified tangential path from 00 to 11. For an odd index (l1,,ld)(l_1,\ldots,l_d), define Iblm(l1,,ld)I_{\mathrm{bl}}^{\mathfrak{m}}(l_1,\ldots,l_d) by the alternating block construction described in the source. Generalized cyclic insertion conjecture. For d1d\geq1 and l1,,ldZ2l_1,\ldots,l_d\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq2} such that i=1d(li1)\sum_{i=1}^d(l_i-1) is odd,

i=0d1Iblm(li+1,,ld,l1,,li)={Iblm(l1++ld),d is odd,0,d is even.\sum_{i=0}^{d-1}I_{\mathrm{bl}}^{\mathfrak{m}}(l_{i+1},\ldots,l_d,l_1,\ldots,l_i)= \begin{cases} I_{\mathrm{bl}}^{\mathfrak{m}}(l_1+\cdots+l_d),&d\text{ is odd},\\ 0,&d\text{ is even}. \end{cases}

This motivic block-notation conjecture generalizes the preceding Eulerian and cyclic-insertion conjectures. It is attributed to Charlton, and the source gives no resolution.
