Updates in a Rule-Based Language for Objects

Summary: Proposes object versioning to manage updates in a rule-based, deductive database context, enabling explicit control during bottom-up evaluation. Update units are stored base-method results; updates may be rule-defined, with fixpoint semantics computable by stratified, bottom-up evaluation. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
