Description

When computing the brave/cautious model for a progam that involves non-determinism over ch variables as well as traditional non-determinis, the computation of the union/intersection on one side shouldn't interfer with the computation on the other side.

For example:

{ p; q }.
r :- p.
r :- q.

variable_declare(dummy,a,fromFacts).
variable_domain(a,val(int,(1..2))).
variable_definedummy,b,val(int,3)).

should have the following cautious model { r, value(b,val(int,3)) }

Other example:

{ p; q }.
r :- p.
r :- q.

should have a cautious model even if there are no variable on the theory side.

Research direction

Locate the brave/cautious model propagator and reproduce the two examples from the issue. Trace how union and intersection are computed for nondeterministic choices and variable constraints; done when both examples produce the stated cautious models without interference between the two sides.
