For each of the two statements we build the object it needs next, a complex on a product of two Weil fourfolds and a class on an abelian fourteenfold, prove what it does, and prove at which step it stops; among the steps, every convolution of the Weil line bundles on $E_{0}^{8}$ whose shifts lie in seven consecutive integers fails the polarised criterion in eighteen of the twenty-eight arrangements of the shifts, an explicit curve of genus four makes the Prym map of cyclic triple covers \'etale onto the Weil domain of $\QQ(\sqrt{-3})$, and the conjecture for a class is equivalent to the vanishing of the mass gap of a multiple of it plus a complete intersection, which Koll\'ar's hypersurfaces show cannot be dropped for integral classes. Both statements remain open. \end{abstract} \maketitle \setcounter{tocdepth}{1} \tableofcontents \input{sec1_intro} \input{sec2_conventions} \input{sec3_reduction} \input{sec4_loci} \input{sec5_f3prime} \input{sec6_f2} \input{sec7_earlier} \input{sec8_status} \appendix \input{appB_derivations} \input{appA_checks} \input{declarations} \input{bibliography} \end{document}
