 For example, consider the semantic account, according to which computation requires representation. If being a representation is an objective property possessed by relatively few things, then unlimited pancomputationalism is ruled out on the grounds that only the few items that constitute representations are genuine computational states. If everything is representational in the relevant way, however, then everything is computational (cf. Churchland and Sejnowski 1992, Shagrir 2006). If, in addition, whether something is a representation is a matter of interpretation, then the semantic account of computation gives rise to pancomputationalism insofar as the interpretation of those representations is unrestricted. Similar considerations apply to the syntactic and mechanistic accounts. For such accounts to avoid unlimited pancomputationalism, they must not rely on unrestricted interpretation.
