The standardness conjecture for the census 4-ball BC4B^4_C

Let CC be the specified 2-pentachoron cut-open Cappell--Shaneson complex, and let BC4B^4_C be the topological 4-ball containing CC described in the paper. Standardness conjecture for BC4B^4_C. BC4B^4_C is PL-homeomorphic to the standard 4-ball. This claim concerns a potential combinatorial obstruction to simplifying triangulations; the supplied text presents it among the paper's results and conjectures, but gives no resolution.
