Grove formula conjecture for the bounded cube recurrence

Let SS be a section, let ff be a state, and let (x0,y0,t0)(x_0,y_0,t_0) be a point in YL\overset{\circ}{Y}\cap\mathcal{L} in the future of SS. Assume that the cone C\mathcal{C} meets SS in at least one point, and let WW be the closure of the prescribed intersection of SS with the interior of C\mathcal{C} together with the two specified points. A grove is a grove on WW, and μ(G)\mu(G) denotes its associated weight. Grove formula conjecture. There exists a constant cc such that the bounded cube recurrence is computed from fSf|_S by a formula of the form

f(x0,y0,t0)=cGgroves on Wμ(G).f(x_0,y_0,t_0)=c\cdot\sum_{G\in\text{groves on }W}\mu(G).

The formula is intended to express the output of the bounded cube recurrence in terms of the initial state on the section; the source refers to Carroll and Speyer for the definition of groves. The parser supplies no evidence resolving this claim, so its status remains open.
