Yes, I've often thought that too, and really as humans we are running simulations all the time in our head. That's kind of what imagination is. We run through conversations, physical events / muscle memory, are constantly predicting the world around us - we often don't even remember moving through the environment on regular routes unless something unusual disturbs our running predictions. It's super interesting to see some of that come through, sure in a more 'brute force' manner, but we randomly brute force bumped through the world as children too, until we pruned our selection trees.
