Computationalism is an extraordinary claim.

For it to be extraordinary, it would have to be beyond ordinary. However computationalism isn't just ordinary but its the majority opinion among philosophers of mind.
Not as Bruno uses it: That all computations exist Platonically and instantiate all possible thoughts - and a lot of other stuff.

That is a deduction, not a postulate.

A deduction from what?  That arithmetic exists

To say that "arithmetic exists" is ambiguous. The UDA-deduction use only Church Thesis and "yes doctor". The AUDA deduction use only Church thesis (to motivate the sigma_1 restriction).


and there's a mapping from true theorems of PA to numbers?

Only the usual (and non computable!) mapping between arithmetical proposition to {yes, no}. Physicists use them too.
