Project: AI::TerracedScan
Code: https://codeberg.org/Vivtek/AI-TerracedScan

Douglas Hofstadter’s research group produced a dozen projects over a period of four decades exploring the mechanisms of human thought; my intent is to extract the core functionality they all share into a reusable methodology. This first project in that effort examines the parallel terraced scan, the architecture that allows processes to build abstract structure as the emergent result of many small and manageable agents. Existing projects present this architecture in the context of an involved doctoral work, so for greater clarity and to simplify testing in isolation, I’ve defined a much smaller problem domain as a test case. This report sets the background for this effort, talks about the architecture and the test domain used to implement it, and expounds on a few lessons learned during implementation.
