Simulation means pretending to do something that is not real or true. It can be used to trick or deceive someone. In law, a simulation can refer to a fake contract or agreement that is not legally binding. A contract is a promise between two or more people that they will do something, and if they don't, there will be consequences. Sometimes people write down their promises in a document called a contract, but the contract itself is not as important as the promises it contains.
