I agree that it's a significant step forward ;-)

We will publish a book on this in the near future, entitled Probabilistic
Logic Networks.

That's good to hear, but I'll have to read the book to believe it =)

Is it the same as Matthew Ikle's theory?  I saw his PowerPoint but I don't
understand what he meant by "probability envelope" etc.

Also, how efficient is the inference algorithm, as compared to first-order
resolution (for binary logic)?  Is the algorithm somewhat analogous to
resolution?

I think it would be a good thing if PLN has a high resemblance to binary
logic, because we need to convert many classical algorithms to the new
logic, eg induction, abduction, and belief revision.
