The entire source code and history is published at http://www.gitorious.org/worldview and this includes the sample worldviews:
http://www.gitorious.org/worldview/worldview/blobs/master/topics/axiom_of_choice.wvm
includes lines such as:
(CHOICE <=> TRICHOTOMY)
(CHOICE => !MEASURE)
(CHOICE => UNION)
which are not the inferential chains, just the basic building blocks. The inferential chains themselves are generated on the fly. No, it doesn't by itself lead to a good visualization of the argument structures, though it should be pretty easy to write some code to run these through graphviz's dot (or any other) graph visualizer. You do have to figure out how to represent harder implications, such as "(DETERMIN & FREEWILL => !NOFTL)", but a box per conjunction/disjunction isn't too hard.
Yes, this doesn't quite do that yet, but it seems to be a reasonable starting point.
