  fact
       
           The kind of clause
          used in logic programming which has no subgoals and so is
          always true (always succeeds).  E.g.
       
          	wet(water).
          	male(denis).
       
          This is in contrast to a rule which only succeeds if all its
          subgoals do.  Rules usually contain logic variables, facts
          rarely do, except for oddities like "equal(X,X).".

/ˈfækt/

  FACT. An action; a thing done. It is either simple or compound.
       2. A fact is simple when it expresses a purely material act unconnected 
  with any moral qualification; for example, to say Peter went into his house, 
  is to express a simple fact. A compound fact contains the materiality of the 
  act, and the qualification which that act has in its connexion with morals 
  and, the law. To say, then, that Peter has stolen a horse, is to express a 
  compound fact; for the fact of stealing, expresses at the same time, the 
  material fact of taking the horse, and of taking him with the guilty 
  intention of depriving the owner of his property and appropriating it to his 
  own use; which is a violation of the law of property. 
       3. Fact. is also put in opposition to law; in every case which has to 
  be tried there are facts to be established, and the law which bears on those 
  facts. 
       4. Facts are also to be considered as material or immaterial. Material 
  facts are those which are essential to the right of action or defence, and 
  therefore of the substance of the one or the other - these must always be 
  proved; or immaterial, which are those not essential to the cause of action 
  - these need not be proved. 3 Bouv. Inst. n. 3150-53. 
       5. Facts are generally determined by a jury,; but there are many facts, 
  which, not being the principal matters in issue, may be decided by the 
  court; such, for example, whether a subpoena has or has not been served; 
  whether a party has or has not been summoned, &c. As to pleading material 
  facts, see Gould. Pl. c. 3, s. 28. As to quality of facts proved, see 3 
  Bouv. Inst. n. 3150. Vide Eng. Ecc. R. 401-2, and the article Circumstances.
