| The CRAM Prolog interpreter finds solutions by performing a depth first search over the predicate tree, that it, it first searches for possible bindings for the first predicate, then branches into multiple search paths, one per each assignment, and continues with the second predicate, and so on. The mechanism is the same as in any other Prolog implementation. | The CRAM Prolog interpreter finds solutions by performing a depth first search over the predicate tree, that it, it first searches for possible bindings for the first predicate, then branches into multiple search paths, one per each assignment, and continues with the second predicate, and so on.
