The cardinality conjecture for meta-spaces of sigma-sets

Let A2\mathdsN0A\in 2^{\mathds{N}^{0}} and B2\mathdsNB\in 2^{\mathds{N}}. The meta-space generated from the sigma-set fusion ABA\oplus B and the corresponding fusion with the antiset BB^{-} is

2AB,2AB.\left\langle 2^{A\oplus B},2^{A\oplus B^{-}}\right\rangle.

Meta-space cardinality conjecture. For all such AA and BB,

2AB,2AB=2A3B.\left|\left\langle 2^{A\oplus B},2^{A\oplus B^{-}}\right\rangle\right|=2^{|A|}\cdot 3^{|B|}.

The example preceding the conjecture has A=B=2|A|=|B|=2 and yields 36=223236=2^{2}\cdot3^{2}. The general formula is presented as a conjecture, with no resolution supplied in the source.
