+In Cypher, each clause has as input the state of the graph and a table of intermediate results
+Each clause has as input the state of the graph and a table of intermediate results consisting of the current variables. The output of a clause is a new state of the graph and a new table of intermediate results, serving as input to the next clause. The first clause takes as input the state of the graph before the query and an empty table of intermediate results. The output of the last clause is the result of the query.
