oops, sorry for the confusion Frank, but I meant the latter one
i.e. the idea to drop the use of triples to represent the language
(also in the perspective of the logic/proof layers)
all cases I've seen so far are examples of circular models
such as _:x :p _:y . _:y :q _:z . _:z :r _:x but I don't
see any problem with that
