| Closed Domain Assumption |
| ------------------------ |
|
|
| The only entities in the domain are those found in the assumptions or goal. |
| If the domain only contains "A" and "B", then the expression "exists x.P(x)" can |
| be replaced with "P(A) | P(B)" and an expression "all x.P(x)" can be replaced |
| with "P(A) & P(B)". |

| ----------------------- |
| Unique Names Assumption |
| ----------------------- |
|
|
| No two entities in the domain represent the same entity unless it can be |
| explicitly proven that they do. Therefore, if the domain contains "A" and "B", |
| then add the assumption "-(A = B)" if it is not the case that |
| "<assumptions> \|- (A = B)". |
|
|

| ----------------------- |
| Closed World Assumption |
| ----------------------- |
|
|
| The only entities that have certain properties are those that is it stated |
| have the properties. We accomplish this assumption by "completing" predicates. |
|
|
| If the assumptions contain "P(A)", then "all x.(P(x) -> (x=A))" is the completion |
| of "P". If the assumptions contain "all x.(ostrich(x) -> bird(x))", then |
| "all x.(bird(x) -> ostrich(x))" is the completion of "bird". If the |
| assumptions don't contain anything that are "P", then "all x.-P(x)" is the |
| completion of "P". |

| ----------------------- |
| Multi-Decorator Example |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| Decorators can be nested to utilize multiple assumptions. |
| |
| >>> p1 = read_expr(r'see(Socrates, John)') |
| >>> p2 = read_expr(r'see(John, Mary)') |
| >>> c = read_expr(r'-see(Socrates, Mary)') |

| >>> print(cmd.prove()) |
