Linear resolution(also called ancestry-filtered resolution) is a slight generalization of input resolution. A linear resolvent is one in which at least one of the parents is either in the initial database or is an ancestor of the other parent. A linear deduction is one in which each derived clause is a linear resolvent. A linear refutation is a linear deduction of the empty clause(). Linear resolution takes its name from the linear shape of the proofs it generates. A linear deduction starts with a clause in the initial database(called the top clause) and produces a linear chain of resolutions. 1, record 3, English, - ancestry%2Dfiltered%20resolution

Compulsive reflection is one way of ensuring that the higher-level axioms in a multilevel database are use in determining the course of lower-level inference. Although compulsive reflection is more expensive than universal subgoaling is, it is more reliable. Our definition of compulsive reflection assumes that, in addition to the metalevel axioms defining the desired baselevel behavior, the initial database contains an appropriate clause to seed its metalevel reasoning. The clause is obtained by applying the function newmeta to the initial baselevel database. 1, record 4, English, - compulsive%20reflection
