```
void simulate(A action,
              E entity,
              Consumer<TraversalInstruction> onFinishCallback)
```
    Simulates a particular behavioural aspect of an entity, expressed by the given action.
    For example, let's assume the given action describes a call to another component, and let the entity be a request (or process). The corresponding strategy would then simulate the request's effects of calling the external component service.
    Once desired effects have been simulated, this simulation strategy must provide a traversal instruction to its caller by invoking the passed callback.
    
    Parameters:
    
    action - the action to be simulated as part of the entity's behaviour
    
    entity - the entity whose behaviour is to be simulated by this strategy
    
    onFinishCallback - the callback that must be invoked once this strategy finishes simulation; a traversal instruction is passed as argument to the callback
