1999-2009 simulation of brain functions in real time

(Neural network simulations of brain functions such as pattern perception, sensorimotor control, and memory, on high-capacity computer chips, will allow robots to interact with their environments in real time -- another step toward understanding human intelligence.)

In its current form, the Simulation Argument began in 2003 with the publication of a paper by Nick Bostrom considers that the argument goes beyond skepticism claiming that, we have interesting empirical reasons to believe that a certain disjunctive claim about the world is true", one of the disjunctive propositions being that we are almost certainly living in a simulation. Bostrom and other writers postulate there are empirical reasons why the 'Simulation Hypothesis' might be valid. Bostrom's ttrilema is formulated in temporal logic as follows.
