Full-degree affine elimination also gives an integral projection of the projective closure, fixing its homogenizing coordinate.
One bounded integer-matrix elimination step on the standard Fin-indexed polynomial rings, ready for iteration.
The restriction of a bounded homogenization to the hyperplane at infinity is exactly its highest indicated homogeneous component.
For f of total degree at most D, the degree-D homogenization of f, restricted to the
hyperplane at infinity X₀ = 0, is the degree-D homogeneous component of f.
The reindexing of Fin (n + 2) that sends coordinate 1 to none and the remaining
coordinates, in order, to some 0, some 1, …; it makes the homogenizing coordinate 0 the first
retained coordinate.

A full-degree direction for an affine ideal equation gives an integral map of projective closures whose first coordinate remains X₀.
