Family A's 3-strand bracket-polynomial detection conjecture

Let KD(t)K_D(t) denote the virtual knot diagrams in Family A depicted in the paper's schematic, and let KN\langle K\rangle_N denote the NN-strand bracket polynomial. The Family A detection conjecture. The family depicted in the schematic is detected by the 3-strand bracket polynomial but not by the bracket polynomial or the 2-strand bracket polynomial. The paper proves that Family A is not detected by the bracket polynomial and conjectures the corresponding 3-strand detection claim.
