Stability conjecture for higher slice rank of subspaces

Let d2d\geq 2, let K\mathbb{K} be a field, let WKn1Knd\mathsf{W}\subseteq\mathbb{K}^{n_1}\otimes\cdots\otimes\mathbb{K}^{n_d} be a linear subspace, and let kk be a positive integer satisfying kdimWk\leq\dim\mathsf{W}. Write K\overline{\mathbb{K}} for an algebraic closure of K\mathbb{K}. Stability conjecture for higher slice rank of subspaces. There is a constant CC(d)>0C\coloneqq C(d)>0 such that

SRk,K(WK)CSRk,K(W).\operatorname{SR}_{k,\overline{\mathbb{K}}}(\mathsf{W}\otimes\overline{\mathbb{K}})\leq C\operatorname{SR}_{k,\mathbb{K}}(\mathsf{W}).

The source motivates this conjecture by the preceding results and says it is reasonable to expect stability under field extensions; it gives no resolution.
