Most Prolog systems will allow you to       satisfy goals like:              equal(X, X).       ?- equal(foo(Y), Y).              that is, they will allow you to match a term against an uninstantiated       subterm of itself. In this example, foo(Y) is matched against Y,       which appears within it. As a result, Y will stand for foo(Y), which is       foo(foo(Y)) (because of what Y stands for), which is foo(foo(foo(Y))),       and so on. So Y ends up standing for some kind of infinite structure.       END:(Clocksin & Mellish 2003:254)              LP = not(true(LP)).       not(true(not(true(not(true(not(true(LP)))))))).       expands to not(true(not(true(not(true(not(true(...)))))))).              --       Copyright 2025 Olcott              My 28 year goal has been to make       "true on the basis of meaning" computable.              This required establishing a new foundation       for correct reasoning.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
