Magic Factoring of Closure Programs (Extended Abstract)
Summary: Extend magic factoring to closure programs with multiple IDB predicates by showing their rule grammar yields a regular language representable as a regular expression. Prove correctness and apply TGDs to transform the program into one that simulates an NFA for the expression, enabling substantial evaluation speedups. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
