Hi Mark, Should this be an (a) off-line or an (b) on-line tool ? (a) off-line: parse rule file and point out the lines/rules which could lead to a potential recursion (b) on-line: identifiy a potential recursion while runtime by observing the agenda and the working memory Sounds like fun indeed, ... I'll take a look once I have some time, Darko Ivancan

The analysis tool would be good for some of this. But it is for static analysts. This sounds like it could be a runtime tool that optionalls detects and stops it. Very handy.
