The Chase Revisited
Summary: Shows standard chase termination is undecidable and provides strictly improved sufficient termination criteria. Defines F‑universal model sets and a complete extended‑core chase that uniformly handles mapping classes (incl. existential/∀∃ FO), restoring completeness for containment, implication, and certain‑answer computation.
