Pete mentioned it as the improved successor to A Thousand Small Mints:
Pete: "The next story I wrote about machine consciousness, Lark and Mara Cross the River, is the story, and then the technical spec, basically."
In Pete's Angel parable, telling the story of Lark and Mara across six valleys was one of the currencies a person might accumulate to prove worthiness:
Pete: "You have to cross these valleys and rivers, and tell the bard story... the story of Lark and Mara, you have to tell that story across six valleys."
