It is an important basis of ontology to explain clearly what the subjective world contains. Frege and other Western philosophers were seriously wrong about concepts and the foundations of mathematics. The simulation is to mimic something with a fake product. People's knowledge about the world is also a kind of simulation. The content of knowledge is fake product relative to the object. The difference between people's knowledge and the object that is simulated can be made on purpose. The altered knowledge doesn't necessarily have real object corresponding to it. These thought games can bring about more value of knowledge and benefit in practice. The civilization and culture of human being mainly come from the innovative thought games. The logical construct of sentences describing something is a simulation of the thing or thought game. A symbol is a substance used to create an association in mind. Logical constructs have three advantages compared with real things: simple, useful, and stable. The concept is the logical construct produced after abstraction of things. Different degrees of abstraction can produce different degrees of concept. Abstract concepts of most disciplines retain more attributes, so they are not easy to analyze and study. The concepts of numbers and points, lines, planes and bodies are the results that retain few attributes after abstraction, which are simpler than concepts of other disciplines and easier to analyze and study.

Objective things have many properties, some properties can be simulated by image and video, some properties can not be simulated by image and video. For example, the weight of product cannot be represented by images, but only by literal symbols. The shape of the product is difficult to describe clearly with words, but suitable for graphic description. So the simulation needs both image and language. The combination of these things with logical relation words is a complete logical construct.

As a tool, the main function of logical constructs is to influence our decisions, which can determine our practical behavior. These practices are real and objective material movements that satisfy our needs and bring us happiness.

2. Logical Constructs are Simple and Steady

Logical constructs as consciousness are not real objective concrete things, but compared with real things, they have three advantages: simple, useful, and stable.

First, simple. Ancient events can be described in words, and the description is the simulation of ancient events with logical construct. How far is ancient times up to now? Between jokes. A war kills millions and consumes millions of resources, but language takes little effort.

Objective and concrete things are infinitely complex, but man-made things are very simple at the beginning. As time goes by, slowly processing, they will become complex. Simplicity is one of the standards of truth, also known as Occam's razor, which shows how important simplicity is. Logical constructs are all fake, but their simplicity is an advantage.

Second, useful. Logical constructs are easy to use because it is simple. People are stupid and lazy, they always like to use simple things. The development of logical constructs has become the main means of the development of human civilization. Logical constructs are the basis of all human civilization and the most orderly content of human culture.

Xun Zi, a famous ancient Chinese thinker said, "Obeying and praising the heaven rules is not as good as creating heaven rules and using them." Laws are the heaven rules made by human. No matter whether they are real heaven rules or not, as long as people can use them and bring benefi
