Classification conjecture for regular homotopy classes of curves

From papers

Let r(α)r(\alpha) be the integer that counts the number of rotations of the velocity vector along a curve α\alpha. Curves with r(α)=mr(\alpha)=m include the curves γm\gamma_m in the family indexed by integers mm. Classification conjecture. Curves with the same value of r(18ot)r(\,18ot\,) are regularly homotopic. This would imply that the displayed family γm\gamma_m, indexed by all integers, contains every curve up to regular homotopy; the conjecture is presented as the assumption that would complete the classification.
