Abstract: This document addresses some problems raised by the well-known intractability of deductive reasoning in
even moderately expressive knowledge representation systems.
Starting from boolean constraint propagation (BCP), a previously known linear-time incomplete reasoner
for clausal propositional theories, we develop fact propagation (FP) to deal with non-clausal theories, after
motivating the need for such an extension. FP is specified using a confluent rewriting systems, for which
we present an... (Update)
