Definability in families of Kolchin invariants

Let C,δˉ\langle \mathfrak C,\bar \delta\rangle be a monster model of TgδˉT^{\bar \delta}_g. For an LδˉL^{\bar \delta}-definable set XX, let ωX\omega_X be the supremum of the relevant Kolchin polynomials and let μ(X)\mu(X) be the supremum of their leading monomials. Kolchin-invariant definability conjecture. For every LδˉL^{\bar \delta}-definable family (Xi:iI)(X_i:i\in I), there is a partition I=I1ImI=I_1\sqcup\dotsb\sqcup I_m into finitely many definable sets such that μ(Xi)\mu(X_i) and ωXi\omega_{X_i} are constant on each IjI_j. This would make the Kolchin polynomial and its leading monomial behave uniformly in definable families; the source cites related work and gives no resolution.
