Let KKK be a Philippon base field, M=∏iPNiM=\prod_i\mathbf P^{N_i}M=∏i​PNi​, and W⊆MW\subseteq MW⊆M a closed irreducible subvariety. Let B⊊WB\subsetneq WB⊊W be closed, and fix 0≤αi≤Ni0\le\alpha_i\le N_i0≤αi​≤Ni​ with ∑iαi=dim⁡W\sum_i\alpha_i=\dim W∑i​αi​=dimW.

There are vector subspaces Li⊆KNi+1L_i\subseteq K^{N_i+1}Li​⊆KNi​+1 with dim⁡Li+αi=Ni+1\dim L_i+\alpha_i=N_i+1dimLi​+αi​=Ni​+1 such that the projective section Z=W∩∏iP(Li)Z=W\cap\prod_i\mathbf P(L_i)Z=W∩∏i​P(Li​) is finite and disjoint from BBB. There are an ordered list of blocks i0,…,in−1i_0,\ldots,i_{n-1}i0​,…,in−1​, block-linear forms PkP_kPk​, and actual homogeneous-coordinate cut ideals JkJ_kJk​ with

#{k:ik=i}=αi,J0=I(W),deg⁡Pk=eik,Jk+1=Jk+(Pk).\#\{k:i_k=i\}=\alpha_i,\quad J_0=I(W),\quad \deg P_k=e_{i_k},\quad J_{k+1}=J_k+(P_k).#{k:ik​=i}=αi​,J0​=I(W),degPk​=eik​​,Jk+1​=Jk​+(Pk​).

On WWW, the equations Pk=0P_k=0Pk​=0 for k<nk<nk<n define exactly ZZZ.

Write R=K[Xij]R=K[X_{ij}]R=K[Xij​]. For each choice j=(ji)ij=(j_i)_ij=(ji​)i​ of one coordinate in each block, put sj=∏iXi,jis_j=\prod_iX_{i,j_i}sj​=∏i​Xi,ji​​ and Rj=R[1/sj]R_j=R[1/s_j]Rj​=R[1/sj​]. The same flag has these two properties on every such localization:

  1. At each step k<nk<nk<n, multiplication by PkP_kPk​ on Rj/JkRjR_j/J_kR_jRj​/Jk​Rj​ is injective. Explicitly, PkQ∈JkRjP_kQ\in J_kR_jPk​Q∈Jk​Rj​ implies Q∈JkRjQ\in J_kR_jQ∈Jk​Rj​ for every Q∈RjQ\in R_jQ∈Rj​.
  2. The final ideal JnRjJ_nR_jJn​Rj​ is radical, equivalently Rj/JnRjR_j/J_nR_jRj​/Jn​Rj​ is reduced.

Formalization Note. These are finitely many principal opens of the multicone, not degree-zero dehomogenized coordinate rings. Quotients equal to the zero ring, empty sections, and empty cutting lists are allowed. No global reducedness is required away from these opens. The assertion does not assume primary decompositions, associated-prime avoidance, radicality at all relevant primes, equality with a geometric vanishing ideal, or a numerical mixed-degree count.

This auxiliary geometric existence statement synthesizes generic filter-regular choice with reduced general mixed sections. It is not a verbatim numbered result from a single source. The simultaneous geometric choice and its translation to these explicit localized coordinate rings remain Open.

Verified closed-point reduction. The accepted sketch proves a Jacobson-ring membership criterion on principal opens and uses it to propagate injectivity and radicality from maximal localizations. The weak Nullstellensatz identifies the required maximal ideals with evaluation ideals of vectors whose blocks are nonzero. Points outside a cut have the unit localized ideal, so conditions are needed only on its actual geometric points.

The sole Open dependency is mixed cut flags with point-local conditions. It supplies the same section and flag, with injectivity at geometric points of each successive cut and reducedness at geometric points of the final cut. No property of an entire coordinate localization is assumed there. The simultaneous geometric choice remains Open; the passage from its point-local conditions to the displayed coordinate-open conditions is proved.

Auxiliary synthesis: a sufficiently general flag is filter-regular on each coordinate localization; transversality on the smooth open of W gives a reduced final section avoiding B and the singular complement. The simultaneous choice and bridge to the displayed multicone localization conditions remain Open.
