Incremental Query Evaluation in a Ring of Databases

Summary: Introduce a ring-of-databases algebra and polynomial query calculus closed under inverses and deltas, with a polynomial normal form. Show k-th delta of degree-k non-nested polynomial queries depends only on the update, enabling per-aggregate constant-time incremental maintenance and join elimination.
