Mental Simulation: Sim`_M (W, S, X, Y)

• There is a possible world W, so that Sim_M (S, X, Y), where Y is a fulfilled fact in W.

Mental Representation: Rep_M <-> Sim`_M (W₀, S, X, Y)

• There is a real World W₀.
• Y is a fulfilled fact in W₀.
• Y causes Y by means of the standard causal chains.
• X is functionally integrated into the window of presence constituted by S.
