Hi Christian,

As far as I understand, you want to reason about the effects of actions 
without instantiating actions and/or states to ground terms. The way the 
next-rules (or in fact any gdl rule) is written this will not work by just 
calling the d_next predicate. Some potential problems with your approach that 
you might want to think about:
1. What is the semantics of variables in your State? (Are the variables 
existentially or universally quantified?)
2. What happens with facts that are not mentioned in the state? Are these 
considered as unknown, false, or true?
3. The current implementation of d_true(F) as member(F, State) will 
instantiate variables in F and in State. Besides, it probably doesn't address 
point 2 properly, it will just fail for facts that are not in the state.
4. Even with another implementation of d_true you have the problem that 
calling next(f(X)) with rules like
next(f(X)) :- p(X). p(a). p(b).
will instantiate X.

I'm really interested in what you want to achieve. However, I think further 
discussions will not be of interest to the list, therefore I suggest to take 
them offline.

Regards,
Stephan
