Generation conjecture for the two-segment piecewise-linear path ideal

Let T(Rd)T(\mathbb R^d) be the tensor algebra equipped with the left and right halfshuffle products, and let I(PL2d)\mathcal{I}(\mathbf{PL}^d_{\leq 2}) denote the ideal associated with piecewise-linear paths having at most two segments. The level of an element is denoted by kk. Generation conjecture. I(PL2d)\mathcal{I}(\mathbf{PL}^d_{\leq 2}) as an ideal with respect to left and right halfshuffle products is generated in levels k=3,4k=3,4. The claim concerns the apparently simple structure of the ideal for two-segment paths and is presented as a conjectural consequence of computations; no resolution is supplied in the source.
