The higher-dimensional lower-bound conjecture for ordinary hyperplanes

For d4d\geqslant4, let ed(n)e_d(n) denote the minimum number of ordinary hyperplanes determined by a set of nn points in the relevant dd-dimensional geometric setting. Higher-dimensional lower-bound conjecture. There is a constant cdc_d such that, for nn sufficiently large,

ed(n)1(d1)!nd1cdnd2.e_d(n)\geqslant \frac{1}{(d-1)!}n^{d-1}-c_dn^{d-2}.

This extends the proposed lower-bound pattern from ordinary lines and planes to dimensions at least four. The statement is presented as a conjecture, and no resolution is supplied in the source.
