_______________________________________________Thad,
Thank you for bringing up quotations. I’m thinking about how best to update the Wikifact project proposal with some new content and discussion about quotations, including hyperlinks to https://schema.org/Quotation and Wikidata’s quotation, and including indication of scenarios or examples where quotations are part of the fact basis.
With regard to “recursive constructability” or “the reification of statements so that they can be used as arguments”, resembling said(Douglas_Adams, ate(Douglas_Adams, apple)), this could resemble, for a URL-based syntax, via use of the URL encoding (or percent-encoding):
for a set of statements resembling: “Douglas Adams said that he ate an apple.”
and/or could resemble:
or
for a set of statements resembling: “Douglas Adams said {33DCF305-3A4D-4024-9AD7-CCB1A29054E2}.”
Best regards,
Adam

SJ - Rephrasing... reminds me of some of the discussion we had within Schema.org where I pushed for Quotation often. https://schema.org/Quotation where we didn't put much work into helping connect more dots, but still it's there.
Quotations often tie into facts, "he said/she said", dispute resolution, etc.
And where it seems Wikidata's quotation property might also somehow play a part in your proposal.
Adam - I think it would be nice to have a concrete example of some clusters where a quotation is part of the fact basis.
