"#Datalog is just a declarative logic language in which each formula is a function-free Horn clause, and every variable in the head of a clause must appear in the body of the clause, what's the problem?"

#Euler's formalisms of graphs and circles were carried out when he could see with one eye only (1735). It is tempting to attribute this in part to lack of stereoscopic vision, reducing one's ability to estimate size and distance, causing sharper awareness of topological features.

The #Poynting vector (after John Poynting) falls into a wonderful class of phonetically accurate theorems, along with the #Low energy theorem for photons (after F. E. Low), and the #Schwarzschild radius of black holes (after Karl Schwarzschild, meaning “black shield” in German).
