Designing a Generalized NF2 Model with an SQL-Type Language Interface

Summary: Proposes a generalized NF2 model supporting atomic data, lists, multisets, and tuples orthogonally to fix order, duplicates, and composite-item limits. An SQL-like interface adds expressivity while remaining simple, for CAD/CAM engineering data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
