alt Hacker NewsWon’t another breadcrumb be Prolog and “declarative programming”[1].
Wasn’t Prolog invented to formalise these kinds of problems of making the inputs match what the desired output should be.

Prolog has basically nothing to do with calculus.
Yes, I'm glad to see a comment on Prolog. I think of it as _the_ foundational programming language for solving such problems. It isn't so much that it's a back propagation language; it's just that, based on which variables are bound at a given point, it will go forward deductively, or backwards inductively.
