Concerning "disjunction" I tried a similar test case

given
:Xavier :worksAt :night.
:Xavier :worksIn :systemMaintenance.

and asking
{_:Y :worksIn :processControl} :or
{_:Y :worksIn :systemMaintenance; :worksAt :night}.

we got a direct answer
{:Xavier :worksIn :processControl} :or
{:Xavier :worksIn :systemMaintenance. :Xavier :worksAt :night}. 

and we just assume implications such as
?P => {?P :or ?Q}.
?Q => {?P :or ?Q}.
(but had to fix some "variable" issues
in the euler running code...)

Of course, posing 2 questions and merging
their answer graphs should also work.
