The polynomial-correspondence conjecture for T1,1+q2T_{1,1+q^2}

From papers

Let Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 denote the 22-adic integers, let F2[[q]]F_2[[q]] be the ring of formal power series over F2F_2, and let TT and T1,1+q2T_{1,1+q^2} be the maps in the source. A conjugacy is a bijection H ⁣:Z2F2[[q]]H\colon\mathbb{Z}_2\to F_2[[q]] satisfying HT=T1,1+q2HH\circ T=T_{1,1+q^2}\circ H. Polynomial-correspondence conjecture. For every such conjugacy HH and every positive integer nn, the power series H(n)H(n) is a polynomial. If true, this would suffice to prove the classical 3x+13x+1 conjecture by the polynomial-orbit result established earlier in the paper.
