Epistemic "must" about amr-guidelines

[nschneid]

Hmm...I think this could be read as "likely cause-of":

John isn't here, he must be sick.

(b / be-located-at-91 :polarity -
      :ARG1 (p / person :name (n / name :op1 "John"))
      :ARG2 (h / here)
      :ARG1-of (c / cause-01
            :ARG0 (s / sick
                  :domain p)
            :mod (l / likely)))

Or maybe there's a good frame to recruit for this purpose (indicate-01?).

Would this be an inference? Maybe we can use infer-01 of deduct-01.
One precedent: I think, therefore I am. (deduce-01)

Consensus (AMR phone meeting May 28, 2013):

    (i / infer-01
      :ARG1 (s / sick
                 :domain p)
      :ARG2 (b / be-located-at-91 :polarity -
                 :ARG1 (p / person :name (n / name :op1 "John"))
                 :ARG2 (h / here)))

Should this go in the guidelines under modality?

That placement in the guidelines makes sense to me, this could be contrasted to other "must" usages.
