The simulatory mind hypothesis suggests that basic thought, imagination and hallucinating or dreaming are all essentially a result of the same mechanism rendering data at different levels of detail within a neurological simulation framework system which exists to mirror the external environment by categorizing the sensory input it receives into a database of "separate" concepts and subconcepts in order to later use these for the processing of ideas and thoughts. | The simulatory mind hypothesis suggests that basic thought, imagination and hallucinating or dreaming are all essentially a result of the same mechanism rendering data at different levels of detail within a neurological simulation framework system which exists to mirror the external environment by categorizing the sensory input it receives into a database of "separate" concepts and subconcepts in order to later use these for the processing of ideas and thoughts. | ||

Although the detail at which this renders concepts during everyday living is usually low, during [[dreams]] and [[internal hallucinations|hallucinations]] this system is capable of generating data that is detailed enough to be hyper-realistic and indistinguishable from waking life. This includes the ability to generate [[autonomous entities]] which are fully capable of coherent conversations. | ||
This suggests that dreams are simply a neurological computer simulation framework which becomes activated during sleep. It's database is comprised of internally stored concepts which one has encountered throughout their life. This randomizes, shuffles and splices its particular set of memories, concepts and variables together in a manner which places emphasis tags upon concepts with recency and personal emotional significance. | This suggests that dreams are simply a neurological computer simulation framework which becomes activated during sleep.
