To engage in mental simulations, you need to have the right set of abilities. Indeed, you need to understand how the game has changed (critical thinking); stimulate yourself to look for new solutions (curiosity and agility); and combine the information you already have with the additional information you need to successfully deal with the new challenge. This latter aspect of combining what you know with the things you do not yet know is the ability to imagine different realities.

In its essence, imagination is the dynamic process of filling up the gaps, i.e. the gaps that exist in-between the pieces of information you have at your disposal need to be filled up by other new data to construct a more comprehensive and different way of working.¹²⁵ What is important to understand is that this imagination process implies that in order to find the new information, you will have to look outside the framework that you have always been using. When both types of information (the known and the unknown) are put together, it needs to be done in such a way that it is not a simple extension of your old ways of working! Instead, it needs to reveal a new and different way of operating that fits the changed reality that now confronts you. In this sense, 1 + 1 = 3. The process of imagination and how to stimulate it is receiving increasingly more attention because, for obvious reasons, it is one of the primary determinants of creativity.¹²⁶ As the American Heritage Dictionary mentions: imagination can improve the ability to “deal with reality by using the creative power of the mind”.
