I don't want to rain on discovering a genuinely cool bit of theory, but it's not "new" per se. The equivalence with Einstein summation was noted in this paper [0]. Sandia labs wrote an SQL database based around graphBLAS called TenSQL a few years back. And something similar to your idea of relational algebra as the basis for AI had a paper published earlier this year [1], naming it Tensor Logic. Are all of these common operations secretly relational, just with the wrong data model? Sadly not, but you can get a long way before you find the limits. Modern databases are very well optimized for…
