# Example Usage
if __name__ == "__main__":
    engine = ReasoningEngine()
    
    # Adding some rules to the knowledge base
    engine.add_rule("A and B implies C")
    engine.add_rule("Not A or D implies E")
    
    # Inference examples
    print(engine.infer("C"))  # True, based on the first rule with no additional context
    print(engine.infer("E"))  # True, based on the second rule given a certain context
```

This code provides a basic reasoning engine capable of adding rules and inferring statements. The example usage demonstrates how to use this capability to add simple logical rules and query them for inferences.
