Hi,
Pete Olcott is full of bullshit. He writes
nonsense like for example:
"According to the formal definition of Unification, this
kind of “infinite term” should never come to exist"
https://philarchive.org/archive/OLCPDPv4Thats not true. There are different formal definitions
of Unification. There is Unification with and without
occurs check.
There are algorithms that can make Unification without
occurs check terminate, and such an algorithm is
for example implemented in SWI-Prolog.
They were pioneered by Alain Colmerauer himself, the
co-inventor of Prolog, who even wrote a paper about
the subject:

All he can do is spam other peoples threads
with his crazy lovebird chirping.
