I upvoted you because I believe there is a case for the brain not being an 'algorithm' per se. (like ... here is the code:... ) i.e. can be run on any turing-complete computer. And that is it probably requires on timing and architecture too - lots of algorithms running at the same time and being in sync with themselves, the body, the environment. Also algorithm implies something we can understand and make a complete mental model of. Maybe the brain is more like the big ball of mud software we all hate to work on and want to refactor, except in the brain case, "refactoring" would de-optimise the timing I was referring to earlier and perhaps make the brain not work at all. Let alone we all have a different brain! And the brain is self-modifying hardware/software. I think it taking centuries to understand might be correct!
