I'm glad you find interest in this work.

Thank you for the links, I did not know we could do computation with... chemistry! As I'm not familiar with that, I do not understand everything. Can you point me to a list of the interactions of your system?

Formality indeed looks promising. I still have a lot to learn about EAL in order to forge my opinion, but maybe it is the "sweet spot". For example, Formality does not need a GC, whereas Éole does, which is time consuming. On the other hand, Éole (if it works) is completely general. But then, not being "completely general" isn't necessary a problem, and Formality seems to do very well.

Please note that Éole is not proven yet, and I'm looking for counter examples that might settle the case. I will actually be happy if someone "break" the system!

Sure, look at [2]. I commented on your github repo too.
EDIT: Re: the chemistry, I do think that it might be a big subject, see https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.04960 , which somehow is not very surprising because of the Algorithmic Chemistry (aka ALCHEMY) of Fontana and Buss.
