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.

The Legend of White Snake was just a man-eating snake at the beginning, then through continuous artistic processing of her in various dynasties she became a flesh-and-blood and emotionally rich character.

A real car contains an infinite number of attributes, while for the average person, the logical construct of the car in the subjective world only has one shape and the attribute of running, excluding other attributes of the car, such as engine structure, tire, electronic control function, etc. With professional training, the properties of the logical construct of the car in the subjective world will gradually increase. The course that the logical construct gradually increase its attributes and getting orderly is the forward evolutionary process of logical construct and culture gene.[4]

Ⅳ. The Theory of Concept

1. Abstraction

Abstraction is a kind of thought game, which is characterized by focusing only on some properties of things and ignoring others. For example, Chinese people have male and female, old and young. I only care about whether you are Chinese, do not care about you are male or female, old or young, that is abstraction. Commonness is the abstract of many materials, and the law is the abstract of many events.

There are different degrees of abstraction. More abstraction means fewer properties to focus on and more properties to ignore. Concrete and abstract are opposition, the less degree of abstraction means more concrete. All objective things are concrete beings with infinitely multiple properties. Human cognition can only focus on some attributes, so all human cognition is abstract.

Simulated products have some of the same attributes as the object, and some of the attributes are different from the object. We tend to only pay attention to the same attributes, do not care about the different attributes. Then the simulated product can be regarded as an abstract of the simulated object.

2. The Simulation of Event, Material, Law and Commonness

In the objective world, there are events, materials, laws, commonness and relationships. Event is the movement and changes of material and relationships. Logical construct comes from artificial simulation products. Logical constructs can simulate all events, materials, laws, commonness and relationships.
