The recursive target-value construction for two copies

From papers

Let aij:=PY2Y2(0,rs)a_{ij}:=P_{\overline{Y^2}|Y^2}(0,rs) for r,s{1,2,3}r,s\in\{1,2,3\}, and define τ2\tau_2 on the indicated set by

τ2(0i)=τ(a1j,a2j,a3j),τ2(i0)=τ(aj1,aj2,aj3),\tau_2(0i)=\tau(a_{1j},a_{2j},a_{3j}),\quad \tau_2(i0)=\tau(a_{j1},a_{j2},a_{j3}),

where j=i/2j=\left\lceil i/2\right\rceil for 1i61\leq i\leq6, and

τ2(00)=τ(τ(a11,a12,a13),τ(a21,a22,a23),τ(a31,a32,a33)).\tau_2(00)=\tau(\tau(a_{11},a_{12},a_{13}),\tau(a_{21},a_{22},a_{23}),\tau(a_{31},a_{32},a_{33})).

The two-copy target-value conjecture. There exists a channel PZ2Z2P_{\overline{Z^2}|Z^2} such that

P(Y2=0X2,Z2=z)=τ2(z)P(\overline{Y^2}=0\mid X^2,\overline{Z^2}=\overline{z})=\tau_2(z)

for every zz in the domain of τ2\tau_2. This is a proposed extension of the one-dimensional construction; the source gives no resolution of this claim.
