The three-part classification conjecture for countable direct sums of chains

From papers

Let a DSC be a direct sum of chains, and let Sib(D)Sib(\mathcal{D}) denote its sibling number. Suppose

D=D1D2D3\mathcal{D}=\mathcal{D}_1\oplus\mathcal{D}_2\oplus\mathcal{D}_3

is a countable DSC, where D1\mathcal{D}_1 is bounded, D2\mathcal{D}_2 is a non-empty finite direct sum of chains with sibling number 0\aleph_0, and D3\mathcal{D}_3 is a direct sum of chains with finitely many non-trivial components, each having one sibling. Three-part classification conjecture. Then

Sib(D)=0.Sib(\mathcal{D})=\aleph_0.

This is presented as a proposed form for the countable direct sums of chains with sibling number 0\aleph_0; the supplied context does not state that it has been proved.
