Very cool. I recall an HN submission (which I can't find offhand unfortunately) that did something similar -- it used an LLM to decompose articles into a set of statements which were used to construct an entity-relationship graph of facts and events. It then queried that using conventional graph query methods, much like DataLog / Lemmalog is doing here. I remember it was particularly effective at answering timeline-based queries that LLMs (back then) sucked at.

(See also Cyc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyc)

I think approaches like this are going to be (or maybe already are?) the basis of effective grounding of LLM responses in authoritative data sources. It should be possible to pinpoint any error to an incorrect traversal or an incorrect "fact." This would work best for concrete, unambiguous facts, however; fuzzy, ambiguous or opinion-based information will probably remain the purview of LLMs.
