Conjecture on the order-complex structure of pure diagrams

Let ΠmM\varPi^M_m be the finite poset of pure diagrams between π(m)\pi(m) and π(M)\pi(M), and let Δ(ΠmM)\Delta(\varPi^M_m) be its order complex, whose faces are chains in ΠmM\varPi^M_m. Regard this complex geometrically in the vector space VmMV^M_m by sending each poset element to its pure diagram. Order-complex conjecture. Any non-negative linear combination of pure diagrams is a non-negative linear combination of pure diagrams from one chain; equivalently, the convex hull of ΠmM\varPi^M_m equals the geometric realization of Δ(ΠmM)\Delta(\varPi^M_m). This conjecture asserts that the convex hull is assembled from simplices indexed by chains in the pure-diagram poset. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
