Argument Reduction by Factoring
Summary: Factoring is predicate-relative; factorability is undecidable in general. For broad classes, Magic Sets yields a factorable program; factoring enables a rewrite with lower arity and is never slower than the MS program, often dramatically faster. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
