Simulations are your brain’s guesses of what’s happening in the world. In every waking moment, you’re faced with ambiguous, noisy information from your eyes, ears, nose, and other sensory organs.

In this manner, simulation lets your brain impose meaning on the noise, selecting what’s relevant and ignoring the rest.
