Orthotope sum conjecture for Z-curve subsets

Let TXKD\mathbb{T}\subset\mathbf{X}^D_K be a subset, and let OT\mathcal{O}\subset\mathbb{T} be an DD-dimensional orthotope with 2D2^D elements. Write S(O)S(\mathcal{O}) for the sum of the elements of O\mathcal{O}, and let Ψ\Psi be the constant associated with the ambient set.

Orthotope sum conjecture. For every orthotope OT\mathcal{O}\subset\mathbb{T},

S(O)=Ψ.S(\mathcal{O})=\Psi.

The source supports the claim with an explicit decomposition of a 4848-element subset into six orthotopes in dimension 33, each having sum Ψ53=131068\Psi^3_5=131068, but supplies no general proof or resolution.
