Excellent! I've heard that Behavioral Economics is also inspired by psychohistory.

If you're also looking to the future you might want to get in touch with the Long Now Foundation.

In re: CQL the underlying CT treatment of DBs is the "secret sauce". I haven't investigated WOQL in depth yet (I looked at the source in https://github.com/terminusdb/terminusdb) but I agree with you that Prolog is superlative for a query language.

I was joking about hiring, but if you put some issues in github it's not inconceivable you might get a PR someday. I don't want to make any promises.

As I mentioned above, I'm working on Joy-in-Prolog, and I'm right at the point where I'm thinking about how to represent data (as in DBs) using Category Theory along with the standard meta-data in "Data Model Patterns: A Metadata Map" by David C. Hay.
