Oppose merge with Logic in Computer Science[edit]

There is a merge proposal with Logic in Computer Science. I oppose the merge. IMO they refer to vary different thing. Computational logic refers to the logic (i.e. the process model) for ANY computer system. So a video game or an SAP module all have computational logic, the logic that governs their behavior. Logic in computer science is a very different topic, it's actually a very broad topic, the many applications of Logic to computer science. Theorem provers, prolog, program transformations, etc. Related but not the same. You would use Logic in computer science (e.g. a theorem prover) to reason about Computational logic (e.g. validate the control flow of a transaction system matches it's specification).
