....2 We note that, in our model, two kinds of negation are present: negation in update rules, which corresponds to classical negation, and negation in query rules, which corresponds to the negation of the well founded semantics. In this respect, we make the following assumption, in the spirit of [2, 7]: for every atom A if :A is derived through the update rules, then :A still holds with respect to the query rules. We refer to [8] for more details on this topic. 5 What is important to note with respect to negation is that update rules can be seen as way to perform abduction and that the ....

In particular, a negated atom may appear in the head of a clause. Consider first general Horn clauses in which literals may appear in arbitrary places. To each set P ....
