Absolutely, but I suspect much of this complexity is accidental / incidental in nature. It is needed to support the physical aspects of the biological processes. The essential (algorithmic / mathematical) part will be quite simple and can be emulated in a few thousand lines of code.

Complex algorithms are not energy efficient and since the brain is highly energy efficient we must preclude such algorithms from consideration.

From what little I know, I am unwilling to make that assumption, but I do think that starting with a relatively simple algorithmic/mathematical biology-inspired take and slowly ratcheting up the complexity as needed is a reasonable way to proceed.

Agreed!
