    "abstract": "Let X be a smooth projective integral d-fold over an algebraically closed field and use the complete embedding defined by H^m, m at least 3. For a nonempty finite reduced point-span tangent-absorbing set Z, this paper proves in arbitrary characteristic the lower bound dim(S_Z), |Z| at least max{J(d,m), min{(d+1)(d+2), binom(d+m,d)}}. The positive-characteristic Gauss-branch argument replaces the characteristic-zero derivative contradiction by Frobenius and radicality. The paper also proves injectivity of the original Gauss map for suitable complete factorized polarizations and, over the complex numbers, constructs smooth hypersurfaces attaining the binomial estimate inside the exceptional Gauss branch for every d at least 2 and m at least 3. The construction is existential; no positive-characteristic Bertini realization, equality classification, human peer review, or exhaustive priority claim is made. A related ARR paper proves a sharper exact global binomial floor in characteristic zero."
