So you're defining computationalism as "not everything reduces to
matter...and it's processes and relations?" That's quite different from
the idea that consciousness would survive substititution of different
substrates for brains provided certain computations were preserved.
Does the existence of insurance, or chess, also contradict physicalism?

The contradiction is in requiring computation which is a mathematical
notion, if physicalism is true, so everything reduce to matter,
computationalism is false by definition, as computation as such is not
a physical notion.
