The vertical non-uniqueness conjecture for special cases

Let a special case be one of the trivially conservative cases considered in the paper, and let vertical uniqueness mean the paper's vertical interderivability condition for the corresponding connective. For a dimension i{1,2}i\in\{1,2\}, write [i:#]s[i:\texttt{\#}]s and [i:\natural]s[i:\texttt{\natural}]s for the relevant labelled sequents.

Special-case vertical non-uniqueness conjecture. Special cases are not vertically unique.

The source explains that proving this requires finding, for each special case, a sequent ss and a dimension in which the relevant sequents cannot be derived from one another. It gives no such general proof and leaves the matter to future research.
