That's absolutely correct. Most presentation of it in the literature
is a stringer form of comp, as I present it, by making clear that we
cannot "know" for sure the subsitution level. So the consequences of
the weaker comp applies to all its stronger forms. In particular the
primitively materialist one are epistemologically inconsistent
extension.
Computationalism has always been understood as concerning the
preservation of mind and consciousness when changing a brain, and is
different from the digital physics assumption, which assumes the
universe is computable, that is, that it results from a one particular
program in the UD.
