Signs-model conjecture for connectivity of the three-dimensional hypercube

For p>0.55p>0.55, let Q3Q_3 be the three-dimensional hypercube and let Dp(Q3)\mathcal{D}_{\geq p}(Q_3) be the class of 1-independent percolation models on Q3Q_3 in which every edge is open with probability at least pp. In the signs model, vertices are independently assigned signs ++ and -, and an edge is open exactly when its endpoints have the same sign.

Signs-model conjecture. Among models in Dp(Q3)\mathcal{D}_{\geq p}(Q_3), the signs model minimises the probability that Q3Q_3 is connected.

The statement is based on computational evidence and is presented as unknown in the supplied text.
