simulatedly
simulatedly is an adverb that describes an action or state as being done in a way that imitates or pretends to be real, but is not actually so. It implies a performance or a fabrication designed to appear genuine. For instance, a person might "simulatedly" cough to feign illness, or a computer program might "simulatedly" perform a complex task to test its functionality without real-world consequences. The key element is the presence of an underlying reality that is being mimicked or replaced by a constructed version. This term is often used in contexts involving deception, testing, or artistic representation where the intention is to create an illusion of reality. It can also apply to situations where the natural process is being replicated for study or demonstration purposes.
