Computationalism is used implicitly in the theory of evolution, in
biology, and in physics once we abandon the collapse of the wave.
Non-computationalism is only a collection of incompatible, often
vague, ideas. There is not yet any working theory.
Then computationalism explains both consciousness and matter
appearance already. Physics do not even try, it assumes them, and some
identity link. It works well to make local prediction, but it fails on
consciousness (when it does not eliminate it).
Physics is not a science addressing those questions.
Theology is the original science addressing those question, and indeed
computationalism explains why neoplatonist theology fit better the
most obvious facts (existence of mind and matter appearance) than
physics, when physics is seen as a theology (Aristotle idea).
You just seem to be not interested in "philosophy" of mind or
theology, and at the same time you argue that physics is the only
correct theology, but then give us what is your non-computationalist
theory of mind.
