Program
The program
subpred.pl has code for generating all consistent
two-statement patterns, as defined by the theory in the above papers. It runs in
Sicstus Prolog, using the finite-domain constraints library. For a given setting it
produces output files with all consistent solutions
(
solutions.txt) and the subset of
coherent solutions
(
coherent.txt). At present it is set up to cover statements in which
subject is either subclass of predicate, or equivalent to predicate, or disjoint from
predicate, and there are 297 solutions of which 62 are coherent by our criterion (see
above papers).
