This does not mean the world is an illusion or a literal computer program.

Modern neuroscience supports this through predictive processing , the idea that the brain does not passively receive the world but actively constructs it. Instead of waiting for sensory data, the brain generates predictions about what should be there, then corrects itself when the world disagrees. This creates a feedback loop betwee...
