The spherical E1a doubling conjecture for minimally rigid graphs

Let GG be a minimally rigid graph, and let GG' be obtained from GG by a 1-extension of type E1a. Let c2(G)\mathbf{c}^{\circ}_{2}(G) denote the spherical realization count. The spherical E1a doubling conjecture. Then

c2(G)c2(G)=2.\frac{\mathbf{c}^{\circ}_{2}(G')}{\mathbf{c}^{\circ}_{2}(G)}=2.

The claim extends the observed factor-two behavior to spherical realizations; the supplied text reports it for graphs with at most 13 vertices but does not establish the unrestricted statement.
