Categorical genericity conjecture for the combinatorial derived matroid

Let MM be a representable matroid with set of circuits C\mathcal{C}. For matroids on a fixed ground set, use the weak order defined by M1M2M_1\geq M_2 when every dependent set of M1M_1 is dependent in M2M_2. Categorical genericity conjecture. Then

δMδOW(R)\delta M\geq\delta_{OW}(R)

for every representation RR of MM, where the order is the weak order on matroids with ground set C\mathcal{C}. This claims that the combinatorial derived matroid is the generic, maximal derived matroid in the categorical weak-order sense.
