    [Datalog] is equivalent to tuple relational calculus

    Well, Prolog also allows recursion, and is Turing complete, so it’s not as rudimentary as you make it out to be.

    But to anyone even passingly familiar with theoretical CS this is nonsense. Prolog is not “reasoning” in any deeper sense than C is “reasoning”, or that your pocket calculator is “reasoning”. It’s reductive to the point of absurdity, if your definition of “reason” includes Prolog then the Brainfuck compiler is AGI.
