## Conjectures and Questions

1: If $$X$$ is a biquandle and $$\beta$$ is a biquandle bracket over $$X$$, then $$\beta$$ is still a biquandle bracket over the trivial biquandle on the underlying set of $$X$$.
2: How does the biquandle homology invariant $$\operatorname{Bh}_\beta$$ compare to the biquandle bracket invariant $$\Phi_X^\beta$$?
3: Does a true Khovanov homology-style categorification of the biquandle bracket exist?
