abstract
We prove that for any singular integral affine variety $X$ of finite presentation over a perfect field defined over $\mathbb Z$, there exists a smooth morphism from $Y$ onto $X$ such that $Y$ admits a resolution. That is, there exists a smooth scheme $\widetilde{Y}$ and a projective birational morphism from $\widetilde{Y}$ onto $Y$, followed by a smooth morphism from $Y$ onto $X$. Our approach differs fundamentally from existing methods, as we neither restrict to any specific singular variety nor fix the characteristic. Instead, we design a {\it universal} blowup process that {\it simultaneously} resolves all possible singularities, and, our method is entirely characteristic-free.

Introduction to Universal Equations and Characteristic-free Resolution
All algebraic singularities, in every characteristic, are claimed to satisfy one fixed system of square-free binomial equations and to be smoothed by a single universal blowup process.
