Predicates

Abductive logic programming Abductive logic programming is an extension of normal Logic Programming that allows some predicates, declared as abducible predicates, to be "open" or undefined.

Characteristics: reliable and fairly fast interpreter, command line interface, Windows-interface, builtin DCG, XML-predicates, SQL-predicates, extendible.

However, whereas the predicates in the heads of clauses are defined by the constraint logic program, the predicates in the constraints are predefined by some domain-specific model-theoretic structure or theory.

Now think about that preemption provision in relationship to the universe of potential predicates.

In Count 1, Racketeering Conspiracy, jurors were asked to consider 14 categories of crimes considered as “predicates” for the racketeering charge.

TypeScript 5.5 brings inferred type predicates, regular expression syntax checking, performance optimizations, and support for ECMAScript Set methods.

But he predicates another cut will only come next year.

Head coach Pat Fitzgerald predicates his defense on a zone scheme that allows chunk yardage in the passing game, but doesn’t allow big plays, as it tends to stifle receivers once they’ve caught the ball.

It is the same dual interest that is driving the idea of sunsetting certain older predicates.

All polyadic predicates can be reduced to one dyadic predicate, interpretable as set membership.

Although Zermelo's fix allows a class to describe arbitrary (possibly "large") entities, these predicates of the meta-language may have no formal existence (i.

Another approach, which favours specific predicates over others, was taken by Hintikka.

As a result, Tarski held that the semantic theory could not be applied to any natural language, such as English, because they contain their own truth predicates.

A special conjunction "ze" is used to create a "mixed" predicate which may be true even if it is not necessarily true for either of the component predicates.

A table in an SQL database schema corresponds to a predicate variable; the contents of a table to a relation; key constraints, other constraints, and SQL queries correspond to predicates.

Because adjectives can be used as complete predicates, many words used to indicate tense in verbs (see Verbs:Tense below) may be used to describe adjectives.

But these pure categories are predicates of things in general, not of a particular thing.

For this reason, a comparatively small set of library predicates suffices for many Prolog programs.
