Echelonmotion realization of Dilworth's theorem for modular lattices

Let LL be a modular lattice, and let σ\sigma be a linear extension of LL. For xLx\in L, write CovL(x)\operatorname{Cov}_L^{\uparrow}(x) for the elements covering xx and CovL(x)\operatorname{Cov}_L^{\downarrow}(x) for the elements covered by xx; let Echσ\operatorname{Ech}_\sigma denote echelonmotion with respect to σ\sigma. Echelonmotion realization conjecture. For every xLx\in L, we have

CovL(Echσ(x))=CovL(x).\left|\operatorname{Cov}_L^{\uparrow}(\operatorname{Ech}_\sigma(x))\right|=\left|\operatorname{Cov}_L^{\downarrow}(x)\right|.

This conjecture asks for echelonmotion to give an explicit bijective realization of Dilworth's theorem for modular lattices, which equates the numbers of elements covering kk elements and covered by kk elements. Its resolution is not indicated in the supplied text.
