[net.ai] Multiple producers in a production system

(speculation/question)

Has anyone heard of multiple "producers" in production systems?  What
I mean is:  should the STM contain (a b c) and there is a rule (a b)
-> (d) and another (b c) -> (e), would it be useful to somehow do BOTH
productions?  The PS could become two PS's, one with (d c) and another
with (e a) in STM.  This sort of a PS could be useful in fuzzy areas 
of knowledge where the same implicants could (due to lack of other 
implicants, or due to lack of understanding) imply more than one 
result.
