Minor monotonicity of embeddability in spheres

From papers

Let HH and KK be simplicial complexes, and write H<KH<K when HH is a minor of KK, obtained by admissible contractions and deletions. Let mm be a nonnegative integer. Minor monotonicity of embeddability. If H<KH<K and KK is embeddable in the mm-sphere, then HH is embeddable in the mm-sphere. This would make embeddability in a fixed-dimensional sphere minor-monotone; the source notes that it would imply the preceding obstruction-based corollary, but gives no resolution of the conjecture.
