This is Russells Paradox
{x | x ~e x} e {x | x ~e x}
<->
{x | x ~e x} ~e {x | x ~e x}
To make a consistent set theory the formula { x | x ~e x }
must be flagged somehow.
e.g.in ZFC
{ x | x e y } IFF E(z) y C z
Axiom of Specification.
there is no z such that RS C z
so RS is impossible to define in ZFC.
I'm working on an automated Proof By Contradiction of RS.
You need to forward chain MODUS PONENS
which is new to PROLOG LOGIC since it requires
depth limiting. (which is simple enough and we've
got DL working on backward chaining MP already)
