The imaginary engine is not good enough.

It's a hard question.

To score the possibility, more context infor need to be captured, e.g.
1. In what sense P2 is a sub-property of P1.
2. How many subproperties P1 have

Anyway, this kind of problem is too hard.  It seems interesting, but *may* not be worthy of trying.
