-Then run `:chase Chain3` to compute the transitive closure.
+After loading this file, the chase algorithm automatically computes:
+- Reflexive pairs: `bot <= bot`, `mid <= mid`, `top <= top`
+- Transitive closure: `bot <= top`
+
+You can also define an instance without `chase` and run `:chase Chain3` manually.
