Linear approximation of planar spatial databases using transitive-closure logic
Summary: Linear approximations of planar polynomial-constraint spatial databases are inexpressible in standard FO constraint queries but definable in FO+transitive closure. An extended transitive-closure logic is complete for computable queries on linear spatial DBs, thus capturing all computable planar topological queries. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
