The main goal of this paper is to point out a number of methodological difficulties faced by the supporters of different kinds of philosophical computationalism in the formation of their conceptual apparatus. The text examines the beliefs underlying physicalist panсomputationalism, as well as some inaccuracies in the classification of the concept of computation. Particular attention is paid to the principles of hierarchical correlation that underlie social neurosciences that actively use computational methods.
