How does brain simulate future?

10 Unsolved Mysteries of the Brain is a nice article I chanced upon through digg...am sure there are many more than that..I found the fourth of them all pretty interesting...is kinda related to my previous post. It says that brain identifies/tries to identify rules/patterns governing various objects of concern. How else can it simulate any realistic possibility. Infact, the realm of possibilities is strictly limited by the set of rules to be obeyed!. In fact, this makes me wonder if the rules are only in our head. Even further, does the brain come up with rules that are deterministic or that are probabilistic. If the rules are probabilistic, then uncertainty is built in!

Whatever....we are perhaps carrying the most sophisticated super computer in our skulls...a computer that is not a turing m/c!
