/// @brief A Calculus bundles the exact set of inference rules + heuristics
///        to use for a specific problem class.
///
/// Think of it as the "algorithm profile" that the Prover loads.
/// Different problems get different calculi:
///   - Pure propositional:  resolution + factoring only
///   - FOL without equality: + full unification
///   - FOL with equality:   + paramodulation + KBO ordering
///   - Arithmetic:          + theory solver integration
///
/// This is the single point where search space control happens.
