Thomassé's sibling-number conjecture for countable relations

From papers

Let RR be a relation, with domain a non-empty set and with any fixed finite arity. For a structure RR, let Sib(R)Sib(R) denote the number of isomorphism classes of structures equimorphic with RR. Thomassé's conjecture. If RR is countable, then

Sib(R)=1 or 0 or 20.Sib(R)=1\text{ or }\aleph_0\text{ or }2^{\aleph_0}.

The paper proves this conjecture for countable direct sums of chains, while the assertion for arbitrary countable relations remains open in the supplied context.
