The family of SCL (Clause Learning from Simple Models) calculi learns clauses with respect to a partial model assumption, similar to CDCL (Conflict Driven Clause Learning). The partial model always consists of ground first-order literals and is built by decisions and propagations. In contrast to propositional logic where propagation chains are always finite, in first-order logic they can become infinite. Therefore, the SCL family does not require exhaustive propagation and the size of the partial model is always finitely bounded. Any partial model not leading to a conflict constitutes a model for the respective finitely bounded ground clause set. We show that all potential partial models can be explored as part of the SCL calculus for first-order logic without equality and that any overall model is an extension of a partial model considered. Furthermore, SCL turns into a semi-decision procedure for first-order logic by extending the finite bound for any partial model not leading to a conflict.
