Monotonicity conjecture for the three-variable violation sets

From papers

Let In3\mathcal{I}_n^3 denote the set of triples that fail the relevant inequality for exponent nn. For every nNn\in\mathbf{N}, the sets satisfy

In3In+13.\mathcal{I}_n^3\subseteq\mathcal{I}_{n+1}^3.

Monotonicity conjecture. For any nNn\in\mathbf{N}, we have

In3In+13.\mathcal{I}_n^3\subseteq\mathcal{I}_{n+1}^3.

Equivalently, if a triple (x,y,z)(x,y,z) fails to satisfy the inequality for some nn, then it also fails for every n>nn'>n. The conjecture is motivated by the proofs of the cited results and supporting numerical evidence; no resolution is given in the source.
