About this paper

Cristina Feier, Tomasz Gogacz, Filip Murlak

The paper sketches a reduction from lossy counter-machine reachability to conjunctive-query entailment under linear existential rules with transitivity. Its encoding represents configurations with paths and uses parity labels to track values during backward query rewriting. The draft claims Ackermann-hardness, but leaves proof issues unresolved; its binary-signature claim appears to conflict with decidability results for linear rules with conjunctive heads.
