Implementing High Level Active Rules on top of a Relational DBMS

Summary: Extends deductive language RDL1 with high-level active rules whose triggering conditions are inferred rather than manually specified. Formalizes combined deductive/active semantics via a partial fixpoint and implements event detection as a front end to a relational DBMS. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
