Computationalism does not refute such theories, but shows that if they are 
true, you need to explain the resonance and the material constitution of the 
numbers from … a theory of consciousness. So as an axoplantion of consciousness 
that becomes circular. That does not mean false, but that means very 
incomplete. As it is unclear such theories solve anything, I remain skeptical. 
It is easier to explain the existence of vibrations and their necessity from 
the numbers self-reference, and that gives a means to exploit the difference 
between true and rationally justifiable to distinguish the quanta from the 
qualia (and that predicts already the qualitative and some quantitative part of 
what we observe and feel.
