Proof of the d=4 hypergeometric series identity for log 2

Prove the hypergeometric series identity for log 2 given by log 2 = sum_{n=1}^{∞} [P(n) / (3 n (2 n − 1) (3 n − 1) (3 n − 2))] · (1 / (2^{13} · 3^{3}))^{n} · ((1)_n (1/2)_n (1/3)_n (2/3)_n / (1/12)_n (5/12)_n (7/12)_n (11/12)_n), where P(n) = 686430 n^{3} − 742257 n^{2} + 223397 n − 13858 and (ν)_n denotes the rising factorial (Pochhammer symbol). Establish a rigorous proof of this identity, which was discovered via LLL search and numerically validated but presently remains unproven.

Background

In the catalogue of fast Ramanujan-type series for logarithms, most identities are proven via Beta integral techniques and Wilf–Zeilberger certificates. However, one d=4 identity (Eq.(13)) for log 2 was found by the LLL lattice reduction search and has resisted proof.

This identity has low binary splitting cost and was used as a secondary digits validation algorithm for log 2 in y-cruncher v0.8.5, successfully verifying 3 trillion decimal digits. Despite numerical evidence and computational use, no formal proof has been established.

References

This identity is just conjectured since it has not been possible to prove it so far despite some attempts [ZUN1].
