Didn't it take an algorithm (an Inference Engine) to process the
heuristics? Also show me some silicon that doesn't use an algorithm
somewhere. So do you suppose the Mind Machine Project is a way to break
free of this computing/algorithmic model?

Most of early AI was heuristics, not algorithms. Some algorithms were
incorporated into expert systems, in the belief that if an algorithm
could solve the problem, fine; if not, heuristics might. But it was
always *might*. True, computers can't solve all problems, neither can
humans.

Just the worst time of the year
For a journey, and such a long journey;
The ways deep and the weather sharp.
The very dead of winter."
