"* `add_or`: Used by `generalizations` to add an *or operation* (a disjunction) to the hypothesis. Since the last example is the problematic one which wasn't consistent with the hypothesis, it will model the new disjunction to that example. It creates a disjunction for each combination of attributes in the example and returns the new hypotheses consistent with the negative examples encountered so far. We do not need to check the consistency of positive examples, since they are already consistent with at least one other disjunction in the hypotheses' set, so this new disjunction doesn't affect them. In other words, if the value of a positive example is negative under the disjunction, it doesn't matter since we know there exists a disjunction consistent with the example."
