Functional and Logic Programming

What are some mathematics subfields that go well with these paradigms?

My final objective is in a broad sense, AI.

Good luck with P!=NP.

Lisps are good for algebra and other symbolic-transformations. If you invent a dialect of Lisp that works with fuzzy symbols, then it would be good for AI.

Prolog isn't really good at anything, as its functionality can be replaced with Lisp's AMB operator. In general, using logic programming for AI is a dead-end idea.

Last time people tried Lisp for that, AI winter happened. Do you really want it to happened again?

Except that they tried Prolog.

AMB can't `cut'. But yes, you can have Prolog in Lisp. (http://docs.racket-lang.org/racklog/index.html)

Any way of implementing the amb operator using one-shot call/cc?

Didn't Graham's "On Lisp" explained how one can implement cut?
