Let us take terms like information, computation, etc. Are they
mental or mathematical?
Information is vague, and can be both.
Computation is mathematical, by using the Church (Turing Kleene Post
Markov) thesis.
But humans, and any universal machine, can mentally handle and reason
on mathematical notions, implementing or representing them locally.
With comp, trivially, the mental is the doing of a universal numbers.
It might be good simultaneously to extend this question by including
general terms that people use to describe the word. Are mathematical
objects then are different from them?
I am not sure I understand what you are asking.
