=Insert= is a relation between states:

It holds when the successor of =S1= by admitting that tuple is =S2=.
The tuple must match the relation's schema exactly and satisfy its
domains, or there is no such transition: integrity is part of the
relation, not a hook bolted on. Solving computes successor states

Sequencing is the chain: =before: S1 after: S2= in one application,
=before: S2= in the next. Conjunction stays commutative; the order
