air is filled with birds after their kind. Before the land was filled with life, the oceans and skies above were called forth to teem with living creatures. Fig. 8 highlights the creation accomplishments on Day 5. 6. Day 6 — Land life and Imago Dei man Day 6 covers two significant areas in populating the land. First, God created the land animals after their kind. Second, God spends more detail focusing on the crowning portion of creation, describing the details of creation man in the image of God. Two things are explained, unlike any other part of creation, man is uniquely created in God’s image, enabling him to be creative and think at an abstract level that no other part of creation can. Then man is given a mission, to rule over creation, and to be God’s representative. Fig. 9 highlights the creation accomplishments on Day 6. 7. Human brain function above all other As the crowning act of creation, humans engage with the other parts of God’s creation differently and more involvedly. Human beings can observe, think, and evaluate what is seen in a manner not equaled by any other creation. In the created order, it is clear how what was made earlier is shown as a precursor and necessary dependence on what is created later. A fish must have an ocean. A bird must have an atmosphere to fly in. Ultimately this is played out to the greatest extent with humanity. Everything up to this point is leveraged for the highest form of creation. There are interdependencies between everything created up to the creation of man. B. Architecture framework The full compute stack model provides a manner to explore brain function. It lays out a scaffolding for the layers that go from simple to complex. Utilizing the full compute stack model with brain function creates a basis to determine whether the model is adequate to cover human brain function or just animal brain function. Thus, it can address the second research question, what modifications to the full compute stack model are required to capture unique brain function? This section introduces an approach to compare biological and artificial neurons and neural networks by leveraging a framework that has been used in engineering development and benchmarking computational capability. This only can capture so much in terms of the human brain and how humans leverage our biology but are not only physical beings. Still, it is helpful to examine these compute layers to point in the right direction where additional capability lies for humanity, being made in the image of God. 1. Use of the full compute stack for architectural levels An architectural framework bounds a project and provides a structure to organize major thrusts in a system. This will be utilized in this paper. An existing architectural framework will be utilized to structure areas of exploration in neuron and neuronal system evaluation. The layers of the full compute stack are used as a framework to capture the multilayered functional operation of neural systems. The full compute stack is a layered abstraction of what a computing capability can offer and fits well with the purpose of this project. These layers are (1) materials, (2) components and devices, (3) circuits, (4) microarchitecture, (5) system architecture, (6) algorithms, and (7) applications. The layers are highlighted in Schuman’s neuromorphic computing algorithm and applications survey (Schuman 2022), and Christensen’s neuromorphic computing roadmap (Christensen 2022). These references are also discussed in the literature review. A summary of these layers is shown in Figure 10. These layers are discussed next, with observations on both the biological and artificial sides. 2.
