Conjectural basis for box-product spaces of qMZV words

For 1zd1\leq z\leq d, let Mz,d\mathfrak{M}_{z,d} be the recursively defined set of plain basis vectors, and define

Bz,d:={un1uns\boxastu1ud:u1udMz,d, njZ>0,n1++ns+1++d=z+d,1>zd+δn1=s=1}.\mathfrak{B}_{z,d}:=\left\{u_{n_1}\cdots u_{n_s}\boxast u_{\ell_1}\cdots u_{\ell_d}:\begin{array}{l}u_{\ell_1}\cdots u_{\ell_d}\in\mathfrak{M}_{z,d},\ n_j\in\mathbb{Z}_{>0},\\ n_1+\cdots+n_s+\ell_1+\cdots+\ell_d=z+d,\\ \ell_1>z-d+\delta_{n_1=s=1}\end{array}\right\}.

Basis conjecture. For 1zd1\leq z\leq d, Bz,d\mathfrak{B}_{z,d} is a basis of Sz,d\mathscr{S}_{z,d}. The set was obtained from numerical calculations, and the paper postpones a proof to future work.
