Span preserves lax-univalent discrete cocartesian fibrations

Let \boxed{} be an algebraic pattern and let \boxed{} be a univalent discrete cocartesian fibration. The construction \boxed{} sends it to a lax-univalent discrete cocartesian fibration internally to \boxed{}:

Span-preservation conjecture. Let \boxed{} be a univalent discrete cocartesian fibration. Then

SpanP(G)SpanP(G)\mathbb{Span}_{\mathfrak{P}}(\mathfrak{G}_{\bullet})\to\mathbb{Span}_{\mathfrak{P}}(\mathfrak{G})

is a lax-univalent discrete cocartesian fibration internally to \boxed{}.

This conjecture extends the preceding result for algebraic patterns whose morphisms are all inert to patterns with non-trivial active morphisms. The paper explains that lax morphisms, rather than only strong morphisms, are the relevant maps in this setting; the conjecture concerns the resulting classification of discrete cocartesian fibrations.
