The brain is nothing but a prediction machine.

... The brain predicts conceived "things" it will see and then "the sensory input" caused by them. Then the brain verifies or corrects the conceived things with the sensory input it actually receives. ...

Collective digitalized mind

... A system that lets users record their inquiry thoughts/ideas as observations, hypotheses, and predictions (OH&P) can provide a new mode of communication and collaboration between users - they can structurally connect their atomic OH&P directly to other users' OH&P. ...

Generalizes to
High-level cognitive functions are linguistical in our brains.
High-level concepts and relationships between them exist linguistically in our brains, and cognitive functions based on these concepts and relationships are also encoded in sentences-like linguistic memories. Our brains can a) store models of the world in the sentences like linguistic memory. E.g. "Deers come to this spot when there is a drought." and b) Construct new knowledge/predictions by constructing new sentences following syntax rules E.g. "there is a drought now, if we go to this spot we might find deers." High-level human cognitive functions are the enterprise of our braining employing these two faculties. We don't have dedicated circuitries for each model expressed in linguistic memory, we just need the basic circuitries for language processing. Note that this hypothesis is different from linguistic determinism.
