Copycat

Copycat is a model of reasoning by Analogie and human Cognition developed by Douglas Hofstadter, Melanie Mitchell, and others at the Research center on the Concepts and the Cognition at the university of the Indiana in Bloomington. Copycat is written in an old version of Common Lisp and will not function on more recent versions.

Description

Copycat produces answers to problems such as " is ABC with abd what xyz is with…? " (ABC: abd:: xyz:?). Hofstadter and Mitchell regard the reasoning by analogy as the heart of cognition, or high level perception as calls it Hofstadter, the basic element with the recognition and categorization.
