\section{Introduction}
This paper stems from Melanie Mitchell's (1993) and Douglas Hofstadter's \& FARG's (1995) work on the copycat program.
This project focuses on effectively simulating intelligent processes through increasingly distributed decision-making.
In the process of evaluating the distributed nature of copycat, this paper also proposes a "Normal Science" framework.
Copycat's behavior is based on the "Parallel Terraced Scan," a humanistic-inspired search algorithm.
The Parallel Terraced Scan corresponds to the psychologically-plausible behavior of briefly browsing, say, a book, and delving deeper whenever something sparks one's interest.
The Parallel Terraced Scan is a mix between a depth-first and breadth-first search.
