Delayed-Fibonacci torsion conjecture for the four-element Alexander quandle

Let X=Z2[t]/(1+t+t2)X=\mathbb{Z}_2[t]/(1+t+t^2) be the four-element Alexander quandle, and let HnQ(X)\operatorname{H}^{\rm Q}_n(X) denote its quandle homology. Let fnn1{f_n}_{n\ge1} be the sequence of delayed Fibonacci numbers, and define

fn=log2(TorHnQ(X))2fn.f'_n=\log_2\left(\left|\operatorname{Tor}\operatorname{H}^{\rm Q}_n(X)\right|\right)-2f_n.

Delayed-Fibonacci torsion conjecture. The torsion subgroup of HnQ(X)\operatorname{H}^{\rm Q}_n(X) is isomorphic to Z4fnZ2fn\mathbb{Z}_4^{f_n}\oplus\mathbb{Z}_2^{f'_n}. The displayed low-degree computations motivate this pattern, but no proof of the general formula is given in the supplied text.
