As you suggested, I started to investigate the backward rules. Here is
some experimental code I did
...
I.could successfully add a backward rule. Thanks for the suggestion.
When adding triple (a C1 t) as below
infgraph.performAdd(Triple.create(a, C1, t));
I could see: a @C2 t. printed. <--- backward rule triggered.
Regarding backward rule, I have a few questions:
1. It seems the backward rule does not support builtin primitives, such
as print()? I did not see C2Print print anything.
Correct. A backward rule, by definition, is only invoked when a query
matches the consequent of the rule. If a rule doesn't infer any triples
then it'll never (need to be) invoked.
You should be able to use a primitive in the body of the rule even if
it's just a side-effecting primitive like print. So something like (not
tested):
(?a MYDeduction ?c) <- (?a MYPremise ?c), print('I was run') .
2. I created a forward rule (C2ForwardPrint) at the very beginning. If
I add triple as below
infgraph.performAdd(Triple.create(a, C2, t));
'check check forward' will be printed
However, if I add above (a C1 t) triple, nothing happens. I assume (a C1
t) generats (a C2 t) from backward rule C1, then recursively calls the
C2ForwardPrint rule to print something?
No. The hybrid reasoner is just feed-forward. The forward rules run over
the data, make deductions and can generate additional backward rules.
When you ask a query of the model then the original data, the extra
forward deductions plus the backward rules are used to answer it. The
backward rules are only used on demand and they don't materialize any
new deduction triples.
Summary: the forward rules don't "see" the results of any backward rules.
Is there anything wrong?
Well seems like it's working as expected. Whether that's what you need
might be a different question :)

Hi,
Very mysterious. If I check the github repository as tagged for 4.2.0 I
can't see an addRule method in BasicForwardRuleInfGraph. Clearly I'm
missing something.
You can add rules to a reasoner but you would then have to rebuild the
InfGraph/InfModel.
Like I say, you can add backward rules to a running hybrid engine, if
that's any use but I don't believe there's any support for dynamically
adding forward rules.
