Conjecture on conserved half-angle tangents for polar Harmonic families

From papers

Let N>3N>3, and consider the polar image of the Harmonic family, a Poncelet family of NN-gons. For each polygon, let θi\theta_i denote its relevant angles, so that the half-angle tangents are tan(θi/2)\tan(\theta_i/2). Polar-Harmonic conservation conjecture. The sum of half-angle tangents is conserved for the polar image of the Harmonic family, for all N>3N>3. The statement extends the displayed triangle case to the higher-polygonpolygon Harmonic family; the source gives no proof or resolution.
