Let be maximal such that in any -colouring of the subsets of there is always a monochromatic family of at least sets which is closed under taking unions and intersections. Estimate .
Let be defined similarly, except that we only require the family be closed under taking unions. Estimate . In particular, is it true that for some as , and ?

No claim settles this problem.
Open. No proof, disproof, preprint or proof claim for the exact statement was found in the search whose scope the Current assessment records, beyond a forum-posted AI-assisted manuscript and a posted chat record of March 2026; a partial proof claim of 30 September 2026, with the authors' own Lean development, was listed on the site's tab on 5 October 2026. Chojecki's manuscript and that claim have claim pages below, and the March chat record is described in the Current assessment without one, since a thread post without a dated manuscript gets no claim page; all three report partial results on the two "in particular" questions, so the derived standing stays open. The only bounds verified here are the trivial of the origin and its Theorem 2, which bounds the number of generators with distinct monochromatic unions by and not itself. This is a bounded negative finding, not a certificate of openness.
