Absolute universality conjecture for the natural embedding of the Lie incidence geometry

Let F\mathbb{F} be a field, let An,{1,n}(F)A_{n,\{1,n\}}(\mathbb{F}) be the Lie incidence geometry, and let εnat\varepsilon_{\mathrm{nat}} denote its natural embedding. An embedding is absolutely universal when every projective embedding of the geometry is obtained from it by projection. Absolute universality conjecture. If

Aut(F)=1,|\operatorname{Aut}(\mathbb{F})|=1,

then εnat\varepsilon_{\mathrm{nat}} is absolutely universal. The conjecture is motivated by the fact that when Aut(F)>1|\operatorname{Aut}(\mathbb{F})|>1, the geometry admits no absolutely universal embedding, while the claim is known when F\mathbb{F} is a prime field and n>2n>2.
