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.
