The sign-vector reconstruction conjecture for affine stresses

Let PRdP\subset\mathbb R^d be a simplicial dd-polytope, with boundary complex P\partial P. For 2id/22\leq i\leq d/2, let Vi(P)\mathcal V_i(P) be the set of sign vectors of the coefficients of affine ii-stresses on PP.

Sign-vector reconstruction conjecture. The (i1)(i-1)-skeleton of P\partial P together with Vi(P)\mathcal V_i(P) determines the combinatorial type of PP, equivalently the entire abstract simplicial complex P\partial P.

This is presented as a strengthening of Kalai's reconstruction conjecture, replacing the full affine-stress space by its sign-vector data. The source gives no resolution.
