AI-generatedISO Prolog Unification: Transitioning to Occurs Check Validation
Standard ISO Prolog implementations typically omit the occurs check during unification to optimize performance. This behavior allows for the creation of cyclic terms, which can lead to unsoundness or infinite recursion in certain predicates. When transitioning a codebase from a permissive environment to one requiring strict logical soundness, the mechanism f
