No Evidence Linking Babylonian Omen Compendia to Horn-Clause Logic — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: The search returned only modern computer-science material on Horn clauses (Prolog, CHC verification, fuzzy Horn logic); no source actually links Babylonian omen compendia to Horn-clause logic. The Babylonian connection is asserted by the query, not evidenced by the findings. MATH: Horn clause = clause with at most one positive literal: ¬p₁ ∨ ¬p₂ ∨ … ∨ ¬pₙ ∨ q, equivalently q ← p₁ ∧ p₂ ∧ … ∧ pₙ. Definite clause (exactly one positive literal) is the Prolog rule form. Resolution + unification gives refutation-completeness; SLD-resolution is the operational semantics. Turing-completeness holds for definite-clause programs (with function symbols). No numerical constants, ratios, or equations appear in any finding. The only formal content is: (i) syntactic restriction (≤1 positive literal), (ii) modus-ponens-style forward chaining, (iii) least-model / term-model semantics (Prabhu; Pavelka term structures, arXiv:1705.09572).

Abstract

FINDING: The search returned only modern computer-science material on Horn clauses (Prolog, CHC verification, fuzzy Horn logic); no source actually links Babylonian omen compendia to Horn-clause logic. The Babylonian connection is asserted by the query, not evidenced by the findings. MATH: Horn clause = clause with at most one positive literal: ¬p₁ ∨ ¬p₂ ∨ … ∨ ¬pₙ ∨ q, equivalently q ← p₁ ∧ p₂ ∧ … ∧ pₙ. Definite clause (exactly one positive literal) is the Prolog rule form. Resolution + unification gives refutation-completeness; SLD-resolution is the operational semantics. Turing-completeness holds for definite-clause programs (with function symbols). No numerical constants, ratios, or equations appear in any finding. The only formal content is: (i) syntactic restriction (≤1 positive literal), (ii) modus-ponens-style forward chaining, (iii) least-model / term-model semantics (Prabhu; Pavelka term structures, arXiv:1705.09572). CONNECTION: None supported. No 0.382/0.618/0.786/1.618/2. Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part of the E8 Intelligence Research series. Platform: e8intelligence.com
