He told me that Clark Glymour used to be a pig farmer. I went on Google, and sure enough:
this confirms it.
I explained the ICA idea to him on a napkin... finally I told him about the argument-mapping idea, and he sketched out a generative model of the DAG being flattened into linear text. It was based on an analogy with springs. He also suggested using anaphoras as clues for the edges between the boxes.
It's a huge bummer we don't have argument-map data.
