Singular apparent-space conjecture for even configurations on elliptic curves

Let EτE_\tau be the elliptic curve with parameter τH\tau\in\mathbb{H}, and let Σ={p1,,pn}Eτ\Sigma=\{p_1,\ldots,p_n\}\subseteq E_\tau, where nn is even. Let APΣ(τ)AP_\Sigma(\tau) be the associated apparent space and SMΣ(τ)\mathcal{SM}_\Sigma(\tau) the corresponding solution space. A point (T,B)(\mathbb{T},B) is called singular when it is a singular point of APΣ(τ)AP_\Sigma(\tau). Singular apparent-space conjecture. If APΣ(τ)AP_\Sigma(\tau) includes a singular point (T,B)(\mathbb{T},B), then SMΣ(τ)\mathcal{SM}_\Sigma(\tau) contains a subset isomorphic to

SL(2,C)/SU(2).SL(2,\mathbb{C})/SU(2).

The claim extends the observed half-period phenomenon from four singularities to every even number of marked points, but no resolution is supplied in the source.
