This code provides a simple reasoning engine that can infer basic conclusions from given facts. It demonstrates how to add and retrieve facts in a knowledge base, then uses those facts to reason about a specific query. The example usage at the bottom shows how to instantiate the `KnowledgeBase`, add some facts, and use the reasoning engine to check if certain information can be concluded based on existing knowledge.
