Strong Medvedev reducibilities and the KL-randomness problem

While it is not known whether each real that is Kolmogorov-Loveland random is Martin-Löf random, i.e., whether $\mathrm{KLR}\subseteq\mathrm{MLR}$, Kjos-Hanssen and Webb (2021) showed that $\mathrm{MLR}$ is truth-table Medvedev reducible ($\le_{s,tt}$) to $\mathrm{KLR}$. They did this by studying a natural class Either(MLR) and showing that $\mathrm{MLR}\le_{s,tt}\mathrm{Either(MLR)}\supseteq\mathrm{KLR}$. We show that Degtev's stronger reducibilities (positive and linear) do not suffice for the reduction of MLR to Either(MLR), and some related results.
