Factoring onto $\mathbb{Z}^d$ subshifts with the finite extension   property
  We define the finite extension property for $d$-dimensional subshifts, which generalizes the topological strong spatial mixing condition defined by Brice\~no (2016), and we prove that this property is invariant under topological conjugacy. Moreover, we prove that for every $d$, every $d$-dimensional block gluing subshift factors onto every $d$-dimensional subshift which has strictly lower entropy, a fixed point, and the finite extension property. This result extends a theorem from Boyle, Pavlov, and Schraudner (2010), which requires that the factor contain a safe symbol.
