4 SUMMARY
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this model, there is an implicit order in which codelets are executed. At the initial stage, the system is more concerned with identifying words. After some word-structures have been built, other types of codelets begin to decipher the syntactic and semantic relations between these structures. From then on, the word identification and higher-level analyses proceed hand-in-hand. In short, the main ideas in our model are: (i) a parallel architecture in which hierarchical, linguistic structures are built up in a piecemeal fashion by competing and cooperating chains of simple, independently acting codelets; (ii) a notion of fluid reconformability of structures built up by the system; (iii) a parallel terraced scan (Hofstadter, 1984) of possible courses of action; (iv) a temperature variable that dynamically adjusts the amount of randomness in response to how happy the system is with its currently built structures.</Paragraph>
