Studying that picture....  

How do you get from (positive?) Horn to Strong (aka classical) Negation
without adding expressive power?  That doesn't seem right.

The blue arrows, in adding new expressive power, are the same as
syntactic sugar?    You can mechanically convert a ruleset backwards
along a blue arrow arc without changing its entailments?    Or am I not
understanding "expressive power"....?

complicated!
