A polynomial that cuts out affine space but is not a coordinate

OpenAI's Lean statement and proof that for every n ≥ 4 there is a complex polynomial F in n variables with ℂ[x₁, …, xₙ]/(F) ≅ ℂ[y₁, …, yₙ₋₁] that is not a coordinate. The three-variable case is not covered. OpenAI's preprint claims this answers the Abhyankar–Sathaye question in the negative for n ≥ 4. Nobody at ScienceHub has yet had an algebraist read the Lean statement against the conjecture, and OpenAI's catalogue marks its formalizations as unchecked. The notebook explains the statement and the construction, lets a reader evaluate F at its critical point, shows the Lean source, and says which runs of Lean's comparator exist and what they show.
