It hasn't got lost - e.g. two sentences later I said "I have no quarrel with the third-person notion of computational realisation per se". Nobody has been disputing the purely third-person analysis of physical systems in computational terms. Under your own definition of mathematical formalism, such an analysis is an interpretation of a fundamental physical state of affairs that has utility for certain purposes. Interpretation of the physical state of affairs "people playing chess" in functional terms might be one of them, although this may still beg some unresolved questions - e.g. the relevance of consciousness in the HP sense to people's ability to play chess.
