Disjunctive relations are just combinations of the atomic relations in a relation set.  When considering theorem k (or R10) in relation algebra, does one need to also use the disjunctive relations as part of that, or do the atomic relations suffice?

Alternatively, I guess this question can be phrased as:  do elements of the power set of relations in a relation set also count as relations with respect to the proof of a relation algebra.
