Three-legs PT3 qqqq-character collision conjecture

Let v1v_1 and v2v_2 be spectral parameters, let PT4ˉ;\Bbox\Bbox(v1)\mathsf{PT}_{\bar{4};\,\Bbox\,\Bbox\,\varnothing}(v_1) be the two-legs PT3 qqqq-character, let Q~3(q3v2)\widetilde{\mathscr{Q}}_3(q_3v_2) be the screening charge, and let f(v2/v1)\mathsf{f}(v_2/v_1) be the fusion factor. The three-legs PT3 qqqq-character is conjectured to arise from their collision:

Three-legs PT3 qqqq-character collision conjecture.

f(v2v1)PT4ˉ;\Bbox\Bbox(v1)Q~3(q3v2)v2v1PT4ˉ;\Bbox\Bbox\Bbox(v1).\mathsf{f}\left(\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}\right)\mathsf{PT}_{\bar{4};\,\Bbox\,\Bbox\,\varnothing}(v_{1})\widetilde{\mathscr{Q}}_{3}(q_{3}v_{2})\xrightarrow{v_{2}\rightarrow v_{1}} \mathsf{PT}_{\bar{4};\,\Bbox\,\Bbox\,\Bbox}(v_{1}).

This proposes that fusing a two-legs PT3 qqqq-character with the screening charge produces the three-legs character in the collision limit. The claim is presented as the main conjecture of the section; no proof or resolution is supplied.
