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.
