General-position conjecture for measurable polynomial recurrence

Let P={p1,,pk}P=\{p_1,\ldots,p_k\} and Q={q1,,ql}Q=\{q_1,\ldots,q_l\} be sets of polynomials. Let WP(P)\textup{\textsf{{WP}}}(P) and WP(Q)\textup{\textsf{{WP}}}(Q) denote their associated Weyl-polynomial spaces. General-position recurrence conjecture. If

WP(P)WP(Q),\textup{\textsf{{WP}}}(P)\setminus\textup{\textsf{{WP}}}(Q)\neq\emptyset,

then QQ-measurable recurrence does not imply PP-measurable recurrence. If in addition

WP(Q)WP(P),\textup{\textsf{{WP}}}(Q)\setminus\textup{\textsf{{WP}}}(P)\neq\emptyset,

then QQ-measurable recurrence and PP-measurable recurrence are in general position. This is proposed as a converse-direction extension of the known implication from {n,2n}\{n,2n\}-recurrence to {n2}\{n^2\}-recurrence; the source also notes that the corresponding implication fails in the opposite direction in general systems. The conjecture is presented without a resolution.
