My proximity constraints

Top
QWhen I introduce proximity constraints, I sometimes see a message about 'Deducted Constraint'. What is it ?
AThis is not a constraint placed by user but which follows logically from the constraints placed. For example: if user puts constraints 'Nicolas Must be next to Carla' and 'Nicolas Must be next to Barack', then the constraint inferred from this is 'Carla Must be next to Barack'. Another example: the user enters the constraints 'Nicolas Must be next to Carla' and 'Carla not next to Cecilia', then we obtain the constraint inferred 'Nicolas not next to Cecilia'.
 
QWhy does it happen that a proximity constraint disappears when I place a guest in Seating Plan or reverse, a guest set should be deleted after entering a constraint ?
AWhether you add a proximity constraint or you place a guest in a table manually, service is guarantor of logical integrity between proximity constraints and Seating Plan. In clear, for example if you create a separation constraint between 2 guests and add a table where you place these 2 guests, the system will automatically remove your separation constraint, because it has no place to be.
