The most common meaning of the word computationalism is that consciousness is the result of a *computation*... that the arrangement of matter of your brain is isomorphic to a computation is the claim of computationalism... materialism does not claim that... materialism does not say anything about computation... it is compatible with the mind being some sort of computation or not being a computation at all (like being some sort of hypercomputation/supertask or anything non computable)... Do you deny it ?
