Peter Suber just wrote to me correcting my misapprehension of causality: I published Nomic in 1982, about seven years before my sabbatical in Hofstadter's lab. But I published it in Hofstadter's column in Scientific American. We got to know one another through Nomic, and it led to the sabbatical at his lab, not the other way around. There's nothing confidential in this; please feel free to post it if you think it would interest others.
