I'll take your silence as indication that you realize that I'm not making any claims beyond: we have no evidence to support your claims because, as I said from the very beginning, we lack a robust and detailed mechanistic model for what it means to think, so any claims that depend on the assumption that we do have that knowledge are speculation at best.
In fact, I think an even stronger case could be made that prediction is central to how our brains work, and the evidence is the rise of predictive coding models in neuroscience. It's too early still to say what form that prediction takes, but clearly your dismissal of "token prediction" as somehow meaningless or irrelevant to human thinking seems frankly silly.
