If you can figure out how a single transistor works, then you can figure out the truth tables for the recurring motifs. That takes care of most of Fig. 2. The only question that remains is if you could figure out the larger scale organization. I sure hope a brain does not have as many abstraction layers as a microprocessor (there are half a dozen of such layers between truth tables and applications). I think that it would be much harder to reverse engineer a microprocessor than a human brain if you're equally clueless about them.
