Given that Alice has 13 brothers and 31 sisters, we can update the Prolog program with this information. We need to adjust the fact about Alice's siblings and then use the rule to calculate the number of sisters her brothers have.

Here is the updated program:

```prolog % Facts siblings(alice, 13, 31). % Alice has 13 brothers and 31 sisters

% Rules % Alice's brothers have M + 1 sisters, since Alice is also their sister. sisters_of_brother(TotalSisters) :- siblings(alice, _, M), TotalSisters is M + 1.

% Initialization goal :- initialization(main).

% Predicate to find and print the total number of sisters Alice's brothers have main :- sisters_of_brother(TotalSisters), writeln(TotalSisters). ```

In this program, the fact `siblings(alice, 13, 31)` represents that Alice has 13 brothers and 31 sisters. The rule `sisters_of_brother(TotalSisters)` calculates the total number of sisters that Alice's brothers have by adding 1 to the number of sisters Alice has (since Alice is also their sister).

When we run this program, it will print the total number of sisters Alice's brothers have:

1. Alice has 31 sisters. 2. Each of Alice's brothers will also consider Alice as a sister. 3. Therefore, each brother has 31 + 1 = 32 sisters.

The output of the program will be:

``` 32 ```

Thus, Alice's brothers have 32 sisters.

Problematic in the real world meat space to say the least.

Assuming Alice indeed has that many brothers and sisters (possible) it's highly unlikely they all have the same pair of unique parents.

The Set {} of siblings that share at least one parent with Alice (the siblings of Alice) can easily include one brother of Alice (same father, different mother) who doesn't share a common parent with any other sibling of Alice.
