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.

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