This Python script defines a simple `ReasoningEngine` class capable of evaluating logical expressions based on predefined rules. The `evaluate_expression` method takes a string expression and uses the engine's internal rules dictionary to replace conditions with their boolean outcomes before evaluation. The `example_usage` function demonstrates how to create an instance of `ReasoningEngine`, set some rules, and evaluate a sample logical expression.
