Abstract

Chez les animaux, le système nerveux permet de simuler les actions et les contraintes de l’environnement. Le cerveau humain dépasse cette simulation du monde physique. « Humien par construction », puisqu’il sépare ses activités dans deux hémisphères cérébraux, il peut aussi simuler « à vide » des langages complexes, des êtres mathématiques, des images et des « mondes » imaginaires, des artifices et des tricheries.The central nervous system in animals can simulate actions and obey environmental constraints, but in humans the brain goes beyond basic simulation of the physical world. It is « Humean » by its very construct, with activities divided and allocated to one of the two halves of the brain. And it can simulate operations, doing a « dry run » to simulate complex languages, mathematical entities, images or imaginary realms, to simulate artifice or deception
