I am not convinced of the usefulness of this comparison.

The first of your big missing pieces starts from the best that we have been able to achieve with computers so far, and while its completion might be a big step in computing, it would not necessarily be a big step in understanding the human brain - after all, quite primitive animals have impressive abilities in this regard. Using the best computing has done as the yardstick for quantifying the human brain's ability is the wrong way round.

The remaining missing pieces are vague, with no clear indication that they fit into the brain-as-CPU model. For example, while it is true that "[human languages] are in many ways far superior to current GQL/datalog/SQL DB languages at encoding and retrieving meaning (that is an isomorphic description of a denoted thing)", this vastly understates the capabilities of language. Once again, you are using current technology as the yardstick, with no basis for assuming that it is of the right scale.

Overall, you seem to be assuming that the rest of the puzzle is almost within reach. That is certainly a logical possibility, but not one with a great deal of objective evidence in support. FWIW, my opinion on the matter is that we probably don't even know, in any well-defined way, all the questions to be answered.

Even if we grant the premise that a suitably-programmed computer (not just a CPU) could have capabilities that are a superset of those of a human brain, that would not necessarily justify saying one is very like the other - that would be like saying a dynamo is a solar cell because they both produce electric current.
