I was wrong. So we have 4 statements representing
statements-about-a-statement. Indeed, our implementation
is with an anonymous resource (instance of the Java Euler
class) with a couple of outgoing arcs (member fields). We
can assert the fact and rule statements because the
descriptions we have are coming out of an XSLT transform
as statements-about-a-statement-that-is-asserted.
Thank you and all the others for the constructive remarks!
