 So the IR is not just an AST for queries. It is the bridge from elaborated dependent syntax to a database-shaped form that later evaluation code can consume.
 
+## Status
+
+The IR looks good as a first compiler pass, but not yet as a complete runtime model.
+
+What already looks solid:
+
+- It matches the direction described in the other notes: theories become tables plus laws.
+- It already lowers nontrivial dependent structure into a relational form.
+- It makes important constraints explicit, especially `foreignKeys` and `total`.
+- It gives Geolog a plausible backend-neutral compiled form between elaboration and evaluation.
+
+What still looks missing:
+
+- explicit runtime state for the chase
+- fresh witness generation for existential conclusions
+- branch or world tracking for disjunction
+- equality-class or term-merging machinery
+- provenance and scheduling information
+
+So the current IR is best seen as a lowered theory IR, not yet a full chase-runtime IR.
+
+If the project keeps this design, the natural next step is probably a second layer above `FlatTheory` for runtime execution state. That layer would hold current facts, branch identity, fresh-name allocation, equality information, and evaluation metadata.

 ## Note
 
 `docs/lecture3.tex` has a `Query IR` section header but no content yet, so the code above is currently the most concrete description of the actual intermediate representation.
